A 54kg girl on ice skates on a frozen lake pulls with a constant force on all light rope that is tied to a 41 kg sled. The sled is initially 22m from the girl, and both the sled and the girl start from rest. Neglecting friction, determine the distance the girl travels to the point where she meets the sled.

A rope is strecthed between two boats at rest. A sailor in the first boat pulls the rope with a constant force of 100N. First boat with the sailor has mass of 250kg. Whereas the mass of second boat is double of this mass. If the initial distance between the boats was 100m. The time taken for two boats to meet each other is (neglect water resistance between boats and water)

On a horizontal frictionless frozen lake, a girl (36 kg) and a box (9 kg) are connected to each other by means of a rope. Initially they are 20 m apart. The girl exerts a horizontal force on the box, pulling it towards her. How far has the girl traveled when she meets the box gt

A 45.0kg girl is standing on plank that has a mass of 150kg . The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless supporting surface. The girl begins to walk alnong the plank at a constant speed of 1.50m//s relative to the plank. (a) What is her speed relative to the ice surface? (b) What is the speed of the plank relative to the ice surface?

In the figure shown, the mass of the trolley is 100 kg and it can move without friction on the horizontal floor. It length is 12 cm. The mass of the girl is 50 kg. Friction exists between is 12 m. The mass of the girl is 50 kg. Friction exists between the shoes of the girl and the trolley's upper surface, with mu = 1//3 , The girl can run with a maximum speed = 9 m//s on the surface of the trolley, with respect to the surface = 9 m//s on the surface of thr trolley, with respect to the surface. At t=0 the girlm starts running from left to the right. The trolley was initially stationary. (g = 10 m//s^(2)) The displacement of the trolley by the time the girl reaches the right end of the trolley is :
