A boy on a 2.0 kg skateboard initially at rest tosses an 8.0 kg jug of water in the forward direction. If the jug has a speed of 3.0 m/s relative to the ground and the boy and skateboard move in the opposite direction at 0.60 m/s, find the boy’s mass.

Shawn (m = 45.0 kg) rides his skateboard at a local skate park. He starts from rest at the top of the track as seen in Figure and begins a descent down the track, always maintaining contact with the surface. The mass of the skateboard is negligible, as is friction except where noted.

a. What is Shawn’s speed when he reaches the bottom of the initial dip, 12.0 m below the starting point?

b. He then ascends the other side of the dip to the top of a hill, 8.0 m above the ground. What is his speed when he reaches this point?

c. As he begins to descend again, down a straight, 18.0-m-long slope, he slows his skateboard down by using friction on the tail of the board. He is able to produce a friction force with a magnitude of 120.0 N. What is the change in thermal energy of the board–rider–track system as he descends the 18.0-m length of track?

Problem # 1: Jim rides his skateboard down a ramp that is in theshape of a quarter-circle with a radius 5.00 m. At the bottom oframp, Jim i s moving at 9.00 m/s. Jim and his skateboard have amass of 65.0 kg. How much work is done by friction as theskateboard goes down the ramp?

Problem # 2: The maximum speed of the child on a swing is 4.9 m/s.the child's height above the ground is 0.70 m at the lowest pointin his motion. How high above the ground is he at his highestpoint?

A 2.0-kg ball moving at 10 m/s makes an off-center collision witha3.0-kg ball that is initially at rest. After the collision,the2.0-kg ball is deflected at an angle of 30° from itsoriginaldirection of motion and the 3.0-kg ball is moving at 4.0m/s. Findthe speed of the 2.0-kg ball and the direction of the3.0-kg ballafter the collision.
Hint: sin2θ +cos2θ= 1.

speed of 2.0-kg ball 1 m/s
direction of 3.0-kg ball 2° from originaldirection of motion
