A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 159-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.58 m/s to the right 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

A person with mass mp=80 kg is standing at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface holding a ball of wet clay with mass mg=10 kg . In front of the person is a large block with mass M=20 kg at rest next to a spring with stiffness k=100 N/m . The person throws the ball horizontally, it sticks to the block, and then ball and block slide and compress the spring a distance 1=0.75 m away from equilibrium before the...

Consider a 80.0-kg man standing on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.36 m/s in 0.700 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.70 s and comes to rest. I can't seem to get the right answer on this one. Please help. Can someone show me the steps?
