A74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a 2.44 kg physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s. what is his recoil velocity?me

The recoil velocity is 0.2687 m/s.

Explanation:

∵ The person is sitting on an icy surface , we can assume that the surface is frictionless.

∴ There is no force acting acting on the person and book as a system in horizontal direction.

Hence , momentum is conserved for this system in horizontal direction of motion.

If 'i' and 'f' be the initial and final states of this system , then by principle of conservation of momentum(p)  -

=

System initially is at rest

∴=0

∴ From the above 2 equations

=0

We know that ,

Momentum(p)=Mass of the body(m)×velocity of the body(v)

Let and be the mass of the person and the book respectively and and be the final velocities of the person and book respectively.

∴=+=0

From the question ,

= 74.9 kg

= 2.44 kg

= 8.25 m/s

Substituting these values in the above equation we get ,

(74.9 × )+ (2.44×8.25) = 0

∴  = - 0.2687 m/s (Negative sign suggests that the motion of  the person is opposite to that of the book)

∴ The recoil velocity is 0.2687 m/s.

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
