g A 45.0 - kg girl is standing on a 150. - 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 1.50 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of the ice

Answer:

her velocity relative to the surface of the ice is 1.154 m/s

The positive velocity indicates that her velocity relative to the surface of the ice is in the same direction with her velocity relative to plank.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the girl, $M_G$ = 45.0 - kg

mass of the plank, $M_P$ = 150 kg

velocity of the girl relative to the plank, $V_G_P$ = 1.5 m/s

Velocity of the plank relative to the ice, $V_P_I$ = ?

Velocity of the girl relative to the ice, $V_G_I$ = ?

Thus, velocity of the girl relative to the ice can be calculated as;

$V_G_I$ = $V_G_P$ + $V_P_I$

$V_G_I$ = 1.5 + $V_P_I$ -----------equation (i)

From the principle of conservation of energy;

$M_GV_{GI} +M_PV_{PI} = 0$

45 $V_G_I$ + 150 $V_P_I$ = 0

3 $V_G_I$ + 10 $V_P_I$ = 0 ------------equation (ii)

From equation (i); $V_P_I$ = $V_G_I$ - 1.5

Substitute in $V_P_I$ in equation (ii)

3 $V_G_I$ + 10( $V_G_I$ - 1.5) = 0

3 $V_G_I$ + 10 $V_G_I$ -15 = 0

13 $V_G_I$ = 15

$V_G_I$ = 15/13

$V_G_I$ = 1.154 m/s

The positive velocity indicates that her velocity relative to the surface of the ice is in the same direction with her velocity relative to plank.

Answer:

velocity of girl with respect to surface of ice 1.154 m/s

Explanation:

Plank Mass , M = 150 kg

Girl Mass , m = 45 kg

velocity of the girl with resect to plank, v1 = 1.50 m/s

velocity of the plank + girl = v2

from the conservation of momentum

Momentum (plank+girl) = - momentum of the girl

(M+m)v2 = -mv1

v2 = -(45 kg)/(195 kg) * 1.50

v2 = -0.346 m/s

velocity of girl with respect to surface of ice =

v1+v2 = 1.50 + (-0.346) = 1.154 m/s

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/

Katen [24]

<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y$ is the instrument's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the instrument's initial position

$V_{o}=15m/s$ is the instrument's initial velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know $y_{o}=0$ and $y=0$ when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

$0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (2)

Finding $t$ :

$0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})$ (3)

$t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}$ (4)

$t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=12s$

A horizontal 745 N merry-go-round of radius

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is 544J

Explanation:

Given :

Weight w = 745 N

Radius r = 1.45 m

Force = 56.3 N

To Find:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62 = ?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the Mass of merry-go-round

$m = \frac{ weight}{g}$

$m = \frac{745}{9.81 }$

m = 76.02 kg

Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I = $0.5 \times m \times r^2$

Substituting the values

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I

=> $0.5 \times 76.02 \times (1.45)^2$

=> $0.5 \times 76.02\times 2.1025$

=> $79.91 kg.m^2$

Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T

Torque applied T = $F \times r$

Substituting the values

T = $56.3 \times 1.45$

T = 81.635 N.m

Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration , $\alpha = \frac{Torque}{Inertia}$

Substituting the values,

$\alpha = \frac{81.635}{79.91}$

$\alpha = 1.021 rad/s^2$

Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity

Final angular velocity , $\omega = \alpha \times t$

Substituting the values,

$\omega = 1.021 \times 3.62$

$\omega = 3.69 rad/s$

Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:

KE = $0.5 \times I \times \omega^2$

KE = $0.5 \times 79.91 \times 3.69^2$

KE = 544J
