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.

How much work is done if you push a box 150 meters with a force of 1.4 N
ss7ja [257]
The work done to push the box is equal to the product between the force and the distance through which the force is applied:
W=Fd
In our problem, the force is F=1.4 N and the distance covered is d=150 m, so the work done by pushing the box is
W=Fd=(1.4 N)(150 m)=210 J

A horizontal 52-n force is needed to slide a 50-kg box across a flat surface at a constant velocity of 3.5 m/s. What is the coef
3241004551 [841]

Answer: 0.61

Explanation:

This is calculation based on friction.

Since the box rests on a flat surface, the force that exists between them is known as frictional force.

Since the friction is dynamic (velocity is not zero)

The frictional force = kinetic energy gained by the body.

Ff = 1/2mv^2

coefficient of kinetic friction × normal reaction = 1/2mv^2

Since normal reaction is equal to the weight(force acting along the vertical component)

Normal reaction= mg = 50 × 10 = 500N. Therefore,

coefficient of kinetic friction × 500 = 1/2×50×3.5^2

coefficient of kinetic friction = 50×3.5^2/1000

coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.61

You are pulling a sled using a horizontal rèpe, as shown in the diagram. The rope pulls the sled. exerting a force of 50 N to th
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Part 1

20 N

Part 2

0.4 m/s²

Part 3

4 m/s

Explanation:

The force which pulls the sled right = 50 N

The friction force exterted towards left by the snow = -30 N

The mass of the sled = 50 kg

Part 1

The sum of the forces on the sled, F = 50 N + (-30) N = 20 N

Part 2

The acceleration of the sled is given as follows;

F = m·a

Where;

m = The mass of the sled

a = The accelertion

a = F/m

∴ a = (20 N)/(50 kg) = 0.4 m/s²

The acceleration of the sled, a = 0.4 m/s²

Part 3

The initial velocity of the sled, u = 2 m/s

The kinematic equation of motion to determine the speed of the sled is v = u + a·t

The speed, <em>v</em>, of the sled after t = 5 seconds is therefore;

v = 2 m/s + 0.4 m/s² × 5 s = 4 m/s.
