What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surfac

Reference no: EM13255965

A 45.8-kg girl is standing on a 161-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 1.44i hat bold m/s relative to the plank.

(a) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surface?

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