A honeybee with a mass of 0.150 g lands on one end of a floating 4.75-g popsicle stick, as shown in (Figure 1) . After sitting at rest for a moment, it runs toward the other end with a velocity v⃗ b relative to the still water. The stick moves in the opposite direction with a speed of 0.140 cm/s.

What is the velocity of the bee? (Let the direction of the bee's motion be the positive x direction.)

Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

0.0443 m/s

Explanation:

= Mass of honeybee = 0.15 g

= Mass of popsicle stick = 4.75 g

= Velocity of honeybee

= Velocity of stick = 0.14 cm/s

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

The velocity of the bee is 4.43 cm/s or 0.0443 m/s

lexy is right because she has the labeled s

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
