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

Aray diagram is shown.<br> What does the letter red line represent?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Red line is reflected ray.

Explanation:

According to the given figure, the blue line represent the incident ray. It strikes the surface and reflection occurs. The dotted line shows normal.

After reflecting the surface, the ray of light is reflected. Red line shows the reflected light.

In this case, the laws of reflection follows i.e. the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

The mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg . A 11 kg bowling ball initially at rest is dropped from a height of 2.63 m. The acceler
jekas [21]

Answer:

v = 7.18_m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the earth towards the ball is = velocity of the ball moving towards earth

For object in free fall, we have

Where

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

S = height of ball above ground

v^2 = u^2 - 2×g×(-S)

= 0 + 2×9.8×2.63 = 51.55_m^2/s^2

Velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is

v = 7.18_m/s

A 10.0-cm-long uniformly charged plastic rod is sealed inside a plastic bag. The net electric flux through the bag is 7.50 × 10
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

Using Gauss's law which states that the net electric flux (∅) through a closed surface is the ratio of the enclosed charge (Q) to the permittivity (ε₀) of the medium. This can be represented as ;

∅ = Q / ε₀        -----------------(i)

Where;

∅ = 7.5 x 10⁵ Nm²/C

ε₀ = permittivity of free space (which is air, since it is enclosed in a bag) = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² Nm²/C²

Now, let's first get the charge (Q) by substituting the values above into equation (i) as follows;

7.5 x 10⁵ = Q / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Solve for Q;

Q = 7.5 x 10⁵ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

Now, we can find the linear charge density (L) which is the ratio of the charge(Q) to the length (l) of the rod. i.e

L = Q / l     ----------------------(ii)

Where;

Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C

l = length of the rod = 10.0cm = 0.1m

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷C / 0.1m

L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density (charge per unit length) on the rod is 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m.

Why is Darwin criticized for his theory? and who were they
kondaur [170]

A few people criticized Darwin for his theory, such as the left-leaning biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, who fear the political implications of Darwinian theory. They fear that evolutionary theory, even when bolstered by modern genetics, and molecular biology, does not make reality probable enough.
