Answer:
-0.55m/s
Explanation:
Given that: For the boy
Weight = 745N
Velocity = +0.35 m/s
Mass of the boy = ?
g = 9.81m/s^2
W = mg
745 = m×9.81
m = 75.94kg
For the girl
Given that:
Weight = 477 N
g = 9.81m/s^2
m = ?
W = mg
477 = m×9.81m/s^2
m = 48.62kg
To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up
48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0
48.62v + 26.579 = 0
48.62v = - 26.579
v = -26.579/48.62
v = -0.5466
v = -0.55m/s
Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.
The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
