A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 168-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 1.55 m/s to the right relative to the plank.
Required:
What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of the ice?

Answer:

The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:

v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s

Explanation:

Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.

m_{g}v_{g}+m_{p}v_{p}=0 (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:

v_{g/b}=v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55 \: m/s (2)

v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank

Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)

45v_{g}+168v_{p}=0

v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55

v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s

I hope it helps you!

Ohm's law states which relationship between electrical quantities? a. Volts = current x resistance b. Volts = current divided by
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

a. Volts = current x resistance

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Hence, Ohm's law gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance of an electric circuit.

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 80 m above ground level with an initial speed of 60 m/sec at an angle of 30° with
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Going up

Time taken to reach maximum height= usin∅/g

=3 secs

Maximum height= H+[(usin∅)²/2g]

=80+[(60sin30)²/20]

=125 meters

Coming Down

Maximum height= ½gt²

125= ½(10)(t²)

t=5 secs
