A skateboarder is riding their skateboard at a speed of 0.3 m/s. They jump backwards off of the skateboard, resulting in the person coming to a stop horizontally, with the skateboard shooting off forwards. The skateboard has a mass of 4.9 kg, and the skateboarder has a mass of 42.9 kg. How fast would the skateboard be travelling after the skateboarder has jumped backwards off of it? U₁1

A skateboarder is riding their skateboard at a speed of 0.3 m/s. They jump backwards
off of the skateboard, resulting in the person coming to a stop horizontally, with the
skateboard shooting off forwards. The skateboard has a mass of 4.9 kg, and the
skateboarder has a mass of 42.9 kg. How fast would the skateboard be travelling
after the skateboarder has jumped backwards off of it?

Given data
-Initial speed of skateboarder and skateboard is : U=0.3 m/s
-Mass of skateboard is : m = 4,9 kg
-Mass of skateboarder is; M = 42.9 kg.
-Final speed of skateboarder is: V=0
The final speed of skateboard is calculated as ;
(m+ M).
u = mv + MV
(4.9kg
+ 42.9 kq) (0.3 m/s) = (4.9 kg) v + (42.9 kg) (0)
(4.4kg)
V = 14.34 kg⋅m/s
v = 2.9265 m/s
V = 2.93 m/s
1. The final speed of the
Skateboard is 2.93 m/s
