A 45.6-kg girl is standing on a 147-kg plank. Both originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.54î m/s relative to the plank.

(a) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surface?
î m/s

(b) What is the girl's velocity relative to the ice surface?
î m/s

A uniform circular platform of mass 100 kg and radius 3.0 m is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle and is initially stationary. A girl of mass 40 kg stands on the rim of the platform. She begins to walk along the rim at a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the ground in clockwise direction. What is the resulting angular velocity of the platform.

Identical twins, each with mass 55 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack and she throws it horizontally at 3.8 m/s to Twin B. After throwing the backpack, twin A gains a velocity of 1.4. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin B in m/s.

Identical twins, each with mass 51 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack and she throws it horizontally at 2.6 m/s to Twin B. After throwing the backpack, twin A gains a velocity of 1.3. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin B in m/s.

A 41.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.300-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 2.00 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. (The speed of the ball is relative to the lake.)...

A man of m = 60 kg is standing on the edge of a disc of m = 100 kg and R = 2m on the ice. A pole goes through the center of the disc about which the disc can rotate freely. He is throwing a ball of m = .5 kg at a speed of v = 3.5 m/s and an angle of theta. (Everything is measured in the rest frame. Assume frictionless ice surface for parts a...

Contents » A 81.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 28.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What is the final velocity of the goalie?

A 70-kg hockey player, originally at rest, hits a 0.15-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35 m/s. Following the hit the ice puck reflected back at 34.85 m/s in the direction from which it came. Ignore friction. Determine the final velocity of the hockey player. Select one: a. -5.25 m/s b. 5.25 m/s c. 0 m/s d. 0.1497 m/s

A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 245 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberjack runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +2.47 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log justbefore...
