A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 147-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,

frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.53 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Answer:

v_1 = 1.17 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the girl (m₁)= 45 kg

mass of the plank(m₂) = 147 kg

constant velocity of girl relative to plank  = 1.53 m/s

velocity relative to ice berg(v₁) = ?

conservation of momentum

momentum of system = 0

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

45 \times v_1 = 147 \times (1.53 - v_1)

45v_1 = 224.91 - 147 v_1

192 v_1 = 224.91

v_1 = \dfrac{224.91}{192}

v_1 = 1.17 m/s

hence, the velocity relative to ice berg is 1.17 m/s

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

A soccer ball is kicked with an initial velocity 13 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees from the horizontal. What is the maximum heigh
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 2.84 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the soccer, u = 13 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 35°

The maximum height reached by the ball = ?

Apply the following kinematic equation, to determine the maximum height reached by the ball.

Maximum height (H) is given as;

H = \frac{U^2sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{(13)^2(sin \ 35^0)^2}{2*9.8}\\\\H = 2.84 \ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 2.84 m

HEY CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER DIS!!!!!!
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.wrap bar magnet in a plastic baggie and remove the iron filings from the mixture by using a bar magnet. Place a small piece of scrap paper on the scale and “tare” the scale. Then place filings on the scrap paper and record (e) the mass of the iron filings. Don't throw out the iron–save it to be recollected.

2.When sand is added to water it either hangs in the water or forms a layer at the bottom of the container. Sand therefore does not dissolve in water and is insoluble. It is easy to separate sand and water by filtering the mixture. Salt can be separated from a solution through evaporation.

3.Sand (mostly silicon dioxide) is not.

Pour the salt and sand mixture into a pan.

Add water. ...

Heat the water until the salt dissolves. ...

Remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool until it's safe to handle.

Pour the salt water into a separate container.

Now collect the sand.

Pour the salt water back into the empty pan.

Heat the salt water until the water boils. Continue boiling it until the water is gone and you're left with the salt.

Another way you can separate the salt water and sand is to stir up the sand/salt water and pour it through a coffee filter to capture the sand.
