A 32.0-kg girl stands on a 10.0-kg wagon holding two 12.5-kg weights. She throws the weights horizontally off the back of the wagon at a speed of 9.5 m/s relative to herself . Assuming that the wagon was at rest initially, what is the speed of the girl relative to the ground after she throws both weights at the same time? Assuming that the wagon was at rest initially, what is the speed relative to the ground with which the girl will move after she throws the weights one at a time, each with a speed of 9.5 m/s relative to herself?
using law of conservation of momentum
momentum before hitting = momentum after hitting
(mb*u1)+(mg*u2) = (mb*v1)+(mg*v2)
(mb*0)+(480*40) = (76*v1)+(mg*v2)
76*v1 = (480*40)-(m*g*v2) = = 0.046*(480*40)
v1 = 0.046*480*40/76 = 11.62 m/sec
using law of conservation of momentum
momentum of the sytem before throwing = momentum of the sytem after throwing
(mg+mw)*v = (2m*v1)
v = (2*m*v1)/(mg+mw) = (2*12.5*9.5)/(32+10) = 5.65 m/sec
-----------------------------------------------------------
when she throws one at a time
v = (m*v1)/(mg+m+mw) = (12.5*9.5)/(32+10+12.5) = 2.17 m/sec
after throwing second ball also
(mg+mw+m)*v = (mg+mw)*v'-(m*v1)
(32+10+12.5)*2.17 = (32+10)*v'-(12.5*9.5)
v' = 5.64 m/sec

A 56 0-kg person holding two 0.750-kg bricks stands on a 3.00-kg skateboard. Initially, the skateboard and the person are at rest The person now throws the two bricks at the same time so that their speed relative to the person is 18.0 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the person and the skateboard relative to the ground, assuming the skateboard moves without friction?

A child in a boat throws a 5.15-kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The mass of the child is 24.2kg and the mass of the boat is 33.2kg . Calculate the velocity of the boat immediately after, assuming it was initially at rest.
A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 93.9 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.279 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.469 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 15.8 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the...

A 68.5-kg person throws a 0.0430-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 32.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 58.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.15 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. (Take the direction the snowball...
