Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet

ely and throws Sheila forward onto the pavement. If there is no net force on the system, what is Sheila's velocity immediately after she is thrown from the bike? 1.8 m/s 2.0 m/s 5.0 m/s 5.7 m/s

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>

love history [14]
So we want to know what are loops of gas on the Sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together. A large and bright gaseous feature that extends from the surface of the Sun that links different parts of sunspot regions together is called Prominence. They are on the Suns surface in the photosphere and they extend outwards into the Corona.
