When the 35-kg boy jumps on the 9-kg skateboard, he has a horizontal velocity of 4 m/s while the skateboard velocity is -1 m/s (the skateboard velocity is negative, which means the boy and the skateboard are going on opposite directions. What is the velocity of the boy on the skateboard once he stays on it?
