Answer:
The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:
Explanation:
Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.
(1)
Where:
- m(g) is the mass of the girl
- m(p) is the mass of the plank
- v(g) is the speed of the girl
- v(p) is the speed of the plank
Now, as we have relative velocities, we have:
(2)
v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank
Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
Change/ Potential
Explanation:
Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.
From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.
Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.
Explanation:
(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.
In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.
0.4 miles = 0.64 km
displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km
(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time
t = 15 min = 0.25 hour
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Here is the solution hope it helps:)
a₀). You know ...
-- the object is dropped from 5 meters
above the pavement;
-- it falls for 0.83 second.
a₁). Without being told, you assume ...
-- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
-- the event is happening on Earth,
where the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s² .
b). You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
c). You can use whatever equations you like.
I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.
d). To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:
The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is
(1/2 G) x (T²) .
On Earth, ' G ' is roughly 9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall
(9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .
It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was
(5.00 - 3.38) = 1.62 meters
above the pavement. That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.
