Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in the attached figure. They "push off" and travel directly away from each other,

the boy with a velocity of v = +0.50 m/s. If the boy weighs 710 N and the girl 480 N, what is the girl's velocity in m/s after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)

By definition, the momentum is given by:
 p = m * v
 Where,
 m = mass
 v = speed.
 On the other hand,
 F = m * a
 Where,
 m = mass
 a = acceleration:
 For the boy we have:
 p1 = m * v
 p1 = (F / a) * v
 p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
 p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
 For the girl we have:
 p2 = m * v
 p2 = (F / a) * v
 p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
 p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
 Then, we have:
 p1 + p2 = 0
 36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
 Clearing v:
 v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
 v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
 Answer:
 the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s

Troyanec [42]
<span>If coal is stacked near mines, the most likley thing that will happen is that rain watter will carry contaminants in coal into durface water. When rain falls on coal, it erodes it just like any other rock. So amounts of coal can be washed out of its holding area and into surface *and* groundwater. Correct answer:D</span>

Voltage = N * Δ(BA)/Δt 
<span>BA = 0.57*0.16*0.22 = 2.0064e-2 </span>
<span>N = 505 </span>
<span>115/505 = Δ(BA)/Δt = 23/101 </span>
<span>When the top of the coil rotates to the bottom (1/2 half cycle) BA changes from max to min and when the bottom rotates back to the top BA changes from min to max. So Δ(BA) is twice per cycle </span>
<span>So 2*101Δ(BA)=23Δt and Δt = 1/f </span>
<span>202*2.0064e-2/23 =Δt = 1/f => f =5.675Hz</span>
