A 45.2-kg girl is standing on a 149-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 1.54î m/s relative to the plank. (a) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the ice surface? î m/s (b) What is the girl's velocity relative to the ice surface? î m/s
