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

The diagram below shows the heating of an unknown substance (it is not water). Its melting point is? The diagram below shows the
Anettt [7]

Answer:

the answer is B

Melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.

The distance between the earth and sun is 1.5 x 108 kilometers and the speed of light is 3.00 x 108 meters per second. Calculate
butalik [34]

Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{8}km

speed of light = 3* 10^{8}m/s

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 *10^{8}*1000m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{11}m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = \frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }

= 0.5*10^{3}

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.
