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

45V_G_I + 150 V_P_I = 0

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

From equation (i);  V_P_I = V_G_I - 1.5

Substitute in  V_P_I in equation (ii)

3V_G_I +  10( V_G_I - 1.5) = 0

3V_G_I + 10V_G_I -15 = 0

13V_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

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.

1. An object of mass 300 kg is observed to
vekshin1

Answer:

The force required will be "300 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of object,

m = 300 kg

Acceleration,

a = 1 m/s

Now,

The force will be:

⇒  F=m\times a

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      = 300\times 1

⇒      =300 \ N

An older camera has a lens with a focal length of 60mm and uses 34-mm-wide film to record its images. Using this camera, a photo
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

24.71 mm

Explanation:

Distance is proportional to focal length, so

d∝f

which means

\frac{d'_1}{d'_2}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

Magnification of first lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_1}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_1}{h_1}

Similarly, magnification of second lens

M_2=-\frac{d'_2}{d_1}

                   and

M_2=\frac{h'_2}{h_1}

From the above equations we get

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}

                   and

\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

which means,

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}

and

\frac{d'_1}{d_2'}=\frac{f_1}{f_2}

So, we get

\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{h'_1}{h_2'}\\\Rightarrow f_2=f_1\times\frac{h_2'}{h'_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=60\times\frac{14}{34}=24.71\ mm

∴ Focal length should this camera's lens is 24.71 mm

If a 66.0-kg person stands with both feet on the same step, what is the gravitational potential energy of this person on the fir
Leokris [45]

Answer:

U₁ = 129.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is

    U = mg y - m g y₀

Where I correspond to the initial position, with this it is an additive constant, we can make it zero with the placement of the reference system, in this case the system is placed on the floor where the ladder rests.

The power power for people on the floor is

     U₀ = 0 J

The potential energy for the person on the first step is

   U₁ = m g y₁

In general the steps are 20 cm high

     y₁ = 20 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.20 m

     U₁ = 66 9.8 0.20

     U₁ = 129.4 J
