Is it possible for momentum to be conserved in one direction and not in other directions? Explain your answers with reasons. This was the question given to my classmates and I to solve. However my group and I had several very different takes on it, and I was wondering if someone could justify...

A 60 Kg skydiver is falling at a constant terminal speed of 50 m/s. At what rate is the potential energy of the skydiver - Earth system reducing? What happens to this energy? Potential energy = m x g x h Where m = mass of the body g = acceleration due to gravity h = height of the object...

So... :) So would this be more on track: Mv1i + 0 = (m +M)V Mv1i + 0 = (5gm +10 kg) .5 m/s m1 u1 + m2 u2 = (m1 + m2) V (5gm u1) + (10kg *0m/s) = (5gm + 10kg) .5m/s (5gm u1) + (10kg *0m/s) = (1005gm) .5m/s (5gm u1) + (0) = 502.5 u1 = 100.5 m/s Bullet Speed= 100.5 m/s Thank...

Bullet speed- Please Help! I am not to great at physics and I was hoping someone could point me where I am going wrong in this problem! :) My answer I came up with is 2.5 m/s but that isn't one of my options so I know something has to be off. 5. To find the speed with which a gun fires...
