A60-kilogram man holding a 20-kilogram box rides on a skateboard at a speed of positive 7 meters per second. he throws the box behind him, giving it a velocity of negative 5 meters per second, with respect to the ground. what is his velocity, in meters per second, after throwing the object?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the man, m₁ = 60 kg

Mass of the box, m₂ = 20 kg

Speed of man+ box, V = +7 m/s

Speed of the box, when it was thrown, v₂ = -5 m/s

To find,

Velocity of the man after throwing the box

Solution,

Let v₁ be the velocity of the man after throwing the box. By using the conservation of momentum, it can be calculated.

Therefore, the velocity of the man after throwing the object is 11 m/s towards his initial direction.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
