Answer:
a) -3.267 m/s
b) 2.227 m/s
Explanation:
As per the conservation of momentum
m1v1 + m2v2=0
m1= mass of log
m2 = mass of lumber jack
v1 = velocity of log
v2 = velocity of lumber jack
a) Velocity of first log
[tex]-\frac{70*7}{150} = -3.267[/tex] m/s
b) m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3
Velocity of log
= [tex]\frac{70*7}{150+70} \\2.227[/tex]
