A 58.0- kg person holding two 0.850- kg bricks stands on a 2.70- 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 15.0 m/s . Part A What is the recoil speed of the person and the skateboard relative to the ground, assuming the skateboard moves without friction? v v = m/s

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 99 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.30 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.46 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 15 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the...
