A skateboarder of mass 70.0 kg approaches the top of a hill at a velocity of 2.0 m/s. The hill is 10.0 m high. Determine his final velocity at the bottom of the hill if he coasts from the top to the bottom of the hill. Assume his skateboard bearings are frictionless and air resistance is negligible.

Three skydivers are plummeting earthward. They are initially holding onto each other, but then push apart. Two skydivers of mass 70 and 80 kg gain horizontal velocities of 1.2 m/s north and 1.4 m/s southeast, respectively. What is the horizontal velocity of the third skydiver, whose mass is 55 kg?
In a study conducted by a University of Illinois researcher, the football team at Unity High School in Tolono, IL was equipped for an entire season with helmets containing accelerometers. Information about every impact in practice and in games was sent to a computer present on the sidelines. The study found that the average force on a top of the head impact was 1770 N and endured for 7.78 milliseconds. Using a head mass of 5.20 kg and presuming the head to be a free body, determine the velocity change experienced in such an impact. with solution and answer, thank you
