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!

When current flows through the motor, the electromagnet rotates, causing a shaft to rotate as well. The rotating shaft moves other parts of the device.

Explanation:
An electric motor is a device that uses an electromagnet to change electrical energy to kinetic energy.

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2  

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print A=0.5m^2

Area of both the foot A=2\times 0.5=1m^2

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2

So the pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2 when person stands on both feet.
