Question

Question 26 of 37 Sapling Learning Nate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non-physics interest in life was high-spaad skateboarding. In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and ater feel for the occasion, he Skate, with a mass of 113 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against a 847-kg stationary statue of Isaac Newion in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a resull, Isaac started and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate's speeds immediately before and after the posilive numbers.) Ignore friction with the ground up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some n this way. he got a gu properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions. On one at 1.07 m/s (Enter Before: Number 4.6067 m/s After Number 34133 m/s By the way, this brief bio of Nate the Skate is written in the past tense, because not Tex before colliding with the Washington Monument in a perfectly he forgat to collision. We on his will miss him.

Explanation / Answer

given

v2 = 1.07 m/s

m1 = 113 kg

m2 = 847 kg

so by using the equlibrium in collision the speed before is

u1 = ( m1 + m2 / 2 m1 ) v2

u1 = ( 113 + 847 / 2 X 113 ) X 1.07

u1 = 4.545 m/s

so by using the equlibrium in collision the speed after is

v1 = ( m1 - m2 / m1 + m2 ) u1

v1 = ( 113 - 847 / 113 + 847 ) X 4.545

v1 = - 3.475 m/s

negative sign says oppossite direction.
