What is your new speed, while holding the flour stack? Suppose you now try to rid yourself of the extra weight by throwing the flour sack straight up. What will be your speed while the sack is in the air? (Same/increase/decrease)
**Problem 8.15 - Enhanced - with Solution**

You (mass 55 kg) are riding your frictionless skateboard (mass 5.0 kg) in a straight line at a speed of 4.8 m/s when a friend standing on a balcony above you drops a 3.5 kg sack of flour straight down into your arms.

For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of a head-on collision.
