A 45.0 kg girl is standing on a 153 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The giri begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.40 m/s relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice? m/s (b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice? m/s

Particle physicists have identified a type of fundamental particle called a muon, which effectively behaves like a very heavy electron. Imagine a muon of mass 1.88 × 10-28 kg is observed in a particle accelerator. It has an initial speed of 3.50 × 105 m/s. It moves in a straight line, and its speed increases to 1.25 × 106 m/s in a distance of 75.0 cm. Assume that the acceleration is constant. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the muon.
Consider the three boxes m₂=8.31 kg, m=11.7 kg and m=5.56 kg which are connected by massless cords passing over frictionless pulleys. The box mrests on a frictionless tabletop while box m and box mare suspended at the ends of the cords connected to box mb. What is the magnitude of acceleration and direction of motion of box m₂ when the system is released from ma rest? mb mc 1.05 meters per second squared, downward 1.05 meters per second squared, upward 1.87 meters per second squared, upward 1.87 meters per second squared, downward ma
A young girl is riding a bicycle that has a total mass (including the kid) of 21.2 kg. The girl is moving at 5.99 m/s on a flat road when suddenly she slams on the brakes and skids to a stop in 8.22 meters. What was the magnitutde of the average force due to friction acting on the bicycle? Remeber, the magnitude of a force is always positive. Assume a constant friction force measured in Newtons and 3 significant digits in your answer.
The blocks A and B are connected by a cable that runs around two pulleys of negligible mass, as shown in the figure. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the inclined plane and block A is 0.4. If the initial velocity of A is 3m/s down the plane, determine the displacement ∆SA of block A (measured from its initial position) when the system comes to rest.
The velocity of an object of mass m= 5.00 kg is giving by v(t) = (3.0m/s3)t2+ (2.00 m/s2)t. The velocity of the object at t = 0 s is equal to vo = 0 m/s. Find the force as a function of time that causes the object to move.

A 0.160-kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless, horizontal surface. At t = 0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00 m/s.

(b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied, how long would it take to stop the puck?

A small object is initially at rest at the top of a large solid sphere that is fixed on the ground. The small object then begins to slide along the surface of the large solid sphere, without friction. V₁ = 0 RI Part (a) Find the angle at which the small object loses contact with the large solid sphere. Part (b) Find the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the small object before it hits the ground. Take (xi, y₁) = (0,2R) as the coordinates for the top of the large solid sphere.
A particle of mass 1.05 kg is subject to a force that is always pointed towards the East but whose magnitude changes linearly with time t. The magnitude of the force is given as F = 4t, and has units of newtons. Let the x-axis point towards the East. Determine the change in x-coordinate in meters of the particle Δx between t = 0 and t = 2.4 if the initial velocity is 17.5 m/s, and pointed in the same direction as the force.

A 54.9-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.93 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.09 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number -9.72 Units
