    m = mass of the rock = 0.5 kg

    v = velocity of the rock = 10 m/s

    V = velocity of eli in opposite direction of the rock = - 0.05 m/s

    M = mass of eli and skateboard together = ?

    V' = velocity of combination of rock, skateboard and eli together before rock is thrown = 0 m/s

    using conservation of momentum

    total momentum after throwing rock = total momentum before throwing rock

    mv + MV = (M + m) V'

    (0.5) (10) + M ( - 0.05) = (0.5 + M) (0)

    M = 100 kg
