On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of

one another, and the boy moves away with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the final velocity of the girl? â€"1. 9 m/s 1. 9 m/s â€"4. 8 m/s 4. 8 m/s.

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

The distance between stars is typically measured in
Murljashka [212]
<span>The question says: complete the sentence: The distance between stars is typically measured in.... The answer is 'light years" - the distance that light travels in a year. That's because it's a very big unit and if we were using smaller units, we would be using huge numbers that would be hard to read and would take up a lot of space.</span>
