Freddy Frog drops vertically from a tree onto a horizontally moving skateboard. The skateboard slows. Give two reasons for this, one in terms of a horizontal friction force between Freddy’s feet and the skateboard, and one in terms of momentum conservation.
A 900 kg car is travelling north on Hwy 5 at a speed of 25 m/s. Another 900 kg car is travelling south on Hwy 5 at a speed of 25 m/s.
a. Do these cars have the same kinetic energy? Why or why not?b. Do these cars have the same momentum? Why or why not?
