This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum. So here they are:
Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)
Momentum = (mass) · (speed)
So, now ... We know that
==> mass = 15 kg, and
==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules
Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:
Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)
30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)
60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)
4 m²/s² = speed²
Speed = 2 m/s
THAT's all you need ! Now you can find momentum:
Momentum = (mass) · (speed)
Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)
<em>Momentum = 30 kg·m/s</em>
<em>(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum. When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true. So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)</em>
This is not something that waves do because they need a medium to travel through, while particles do not.
<h3>How light travels in space?</h3>
A light travels without any medium while on the other hand, a medium is required for sound waves to move from oe place to another. Sound is a mechanical wave that cannot travel through a vacuum.
So we can conclude that electromagnetic waves like light do not require medium for its propagation.

Answer:
θ = 19.66°
Explanation:
To determine the angle that the rope makes with the vertical for the two people, you first take into account the potential energy of the first person before he swings on the rope:

h: distance to the ground
g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
m: mass of the first person = 55 kg
In the image attache below you can notice that the height h is:

Then, the potential energy is:

When the first person picks up the second person (when the rope is exactly vertical), all the potential energy becomes kinetic energy. Next, when both people reaches the maximum height h' the energy must be equal to the initial potential energy of the first person:

From the previous equation you can get h':

Finally, you obtain the angle between the rope at the height h,' and the vertical, by calculating the following:

hence, the angle between the rope and the vertical, when the two people are in the rope is 19.66°
