A 47.2 kg girl is standing on a 177 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 1.53 m/s relative to the plank. What is her velocity relative to the ice surface

Answer:

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of girl; m_g = 47.2 kg

Mass of plank; m_p = 177 kg

Let the velocity of girl to ice be v_g,i

Let the velocity of plank to ice be v_p,i

Since the velocity of the girl is 1.53 m/s relative to the plank, then;

v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53

From conservation of momentum;

m_g × v_g,i = m_p × v_p,i

Thus;

47.2(v_g,i) = 177(v_p,i)

Dividing both sides by 47.2 gives;

v_g,i = 3.75(v_p,i)

v_pi = (v_g,i)/3.75

Thus, from v_g,i + v_p,i = 1.53, we have;

v_g,i + ((v_g,i)/3.75) = 1.53

v_g,i(1 + 1/3.75) = 1.53

1.267v_g,i = 1.53

v_g,i = 1.53/1.267

v_g,i = 1.208 m/s

An automobile battery has an emf of 12.6 V and an internal resistance of 0.0600 . The headlights together present equivalent res

Answer:

(a) V=11.86\ V

(b) V=9.76\ V

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

V=R.I

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is \varepsilon =12.6\ V and its internal resistance is R_i=0.06\ \Omega. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is R_e=5.2\ \Omega, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)

Solving for i

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight  bulbs is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V

V=11.86\ V

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V
