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?
Physics

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!

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471
