30° When the 37-kg boy jumps on the 9-kg skate board, he has a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s while the skateboard velocity is 1 m/s (the the skate board velocity is negative, it means the boy and the skate board are going on opposite directions. What is the velocity of the boy on the skateboard once he stays on it?

Question
**Physics Problem: Boy and Skateboard Velocity**

A diagram shows a ramp inclined at 30° with a length labeled as "s". A boy is shown running towards a skateboard placed at the bottom of the ramp.

**Problem Statement:**

When the 37-kg boy jumps on the 9-kg skateboard, he has a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s. Meanwhile, the skateboard's velocity is 1 m/s in the opposite direction (indicated by the negative velocity of the skateboard).

**Question:**

What is the velocity of the boy on the skateboard once he is on it?
