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 steel ball with a mass of 0.600 kg is dropped from an initial height of 2.80 m onto a metal plate. The steel ball bounces multiple times and on each bounce it returns to 75% of its previous maximum height.
A)What is the initial mechanical energy of the ball-Earth system, just after the ball is released from its initial height? Use the surface of the steel plate as the y = 0 reference point for the gravitational potential energy.
B)How much mechanical energy does the system lose during its first bounce?

What are differences (in use, benefits, requirements etc) in the 160 volts that the USA uses and 220-240 volts the rest of the world uses? Explain how a step-down converter/transformer to reduce the voltage input and outputs the correct voltage works when using a device of 240 volts to the USA 160v, vice versa?
