**Question 4:** Larry has a mass of 80 kg and runs across the front of the classroom with a speed of 4 m/s and jumps onto a giant skateboard. The skateboard is initially at rest and has a mass equal to Larry's. If friction with the floor is negligible, what is the speed of Larry and the skateboard after he jumps on board?
