Answer:

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is $g = 9.8 m/s^2$ .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s

Kobotan [32]

Well, st first we should find initial momentum for the first person represented in the task which definitely must be :
 $(65+0.045)*2.5$
And then we find the final one : $65*x + 0.045*30$
Then equate them together : $x=2.48 m/s$
So we can get the velocity, which is $is 2.48 m/s$
In that way, according to the main rules of conservation of momentum you can easily find the solution for the second person.

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp

Gemiola [76]

The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.
