A 62.0 kg water skier at rest jumps from the dock into a 775 kg boat at rest on the east side of the dock. If the velocity of the skier is 4.50 m/s as she leaves the dock, what is the final velocity of the skier and boat? 2.78 m/s to the east
2.78 m/s to the west
0.360 to the west
0.360 to the east

The final velocity of the skier and boat is 0.33 m/s to the east.

Explanation:

We can find the final velocity of the skier by conservation of linear momentum:

Where:  

: is the mass of the water skier = 62.0 kg

: is the mass of the boat = 775 kg

: is the initial velocity of the skier = 4.50 m/s (as she leaves the dock)

: is the initial velocity of the boat = 0 (it is at rest)

: is the final velocity of the skier =?

: is the final velocity of the boat =?

Since the final velocity of the skier is the same that the velocity of the boat () we have:

[tex]v_{f} = \frac{m_{s}v_{s_{i}}}{m_{s} + m_{b}} = \frac{62.0 kg*4.50 m/s}{62.0 kg + 775 kg} = 0.33 m/s                  

Therefore, the final velocity of the skier and boat is 0.33 m/s to the east.

I hope it helps you!                                                          

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

answer: 802.3 kilo joules of energy represents 191.75 kilo calorie of energy.

explanation:

energy released during combustion of one mole methane = 802.3 kilo joules

if 1 kilo joule = 0.239006   kilo calorie

then ,802.3 kilo joule will be = 802.30.239006 kilo calorie

802.3 kilo joule = 191.75 kilo calorie

hence, the energy in kilo calorie is 191.75 kilo calorie.
