The velocity of the girl is -4.8 m/s.
Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.
Thus;
0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)
0 = 240 + 50 v
-240 = 50 v
v = -240/50
v = -4.8 m/s
Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

Answer:
4.163 m
Explanation:
Since the length of the bridge is
L = 380 m
And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is
Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:
where
is the initial length of one span
is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion
is the increase in temperature
Substituting,
By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:
Answer: 29.50 m
Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:
f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).
f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a
then
a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2
With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train
as follows:
x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2
Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a
Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
