You are holding a basketball and standing at rest on top of a skateboard. If you throw the basketball (of mass 0.625 kg) at a velocity of 7 m/s along the horizontal and you and the skateboard together have a mass of 85 kg, what is the magnitude of your velocity just after throwing the ball? Assume you can ignore air resistance, rolling resistance, and friction.

Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor. 1) What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam?
