Explanation:
Conservation of linear momentum :
When no external force acts on a system of several interacting particles, the total linear momentum of system is conserved.
Before the Throw ; Man mass (M₁) = 84.1 kg,
Velocity of Man (u₁) = 0 m/s
Book Mass(M₂) = 1.80 kg
Velocity of book (u₂)= 0 m/s
After the throw ; Man mass(M₁) = 84.1 kg
Velocity of Man(V₁) = ?
Book mass(M₂) = 1.80 kg
velocity of book(V₂) = 11.1 m/s
According to conservation of linear Momentum
Initial Momentum = Final Momentum
M₁u₁ +M₂u₂ = M₁v₁ + M₂v₂
84.1 x0 + 1.80 x0 = 84.1 x v₁ + 1.80 x 11.1
0 = 84.1 v₁ + 19.98
v₁ = -19.98 /84.1
= -0.23 m/s
final velocity of man is -0.23 m/s
