  • Instructions

    Create your course assignments by selecting questions from our bank of 1180 end-of-section exercises.

    • Exercises are included in chapters with mathematical content and are written to reinforce learning and practice of important mathematical concepts.
    • Multiple Choice questions are a quick way to review central topics in the text, including key concepts, vocabulary, and contributing scientists.
    • Short Answer questions challenge student mastery of concepts, theories, and important ideas by asking for answers that require a student-generated explanation.
    • Applying Your Knowledge exercises are included in chapters without mathematical content and promote the practical application of scientific inquiry.

    Here are some textbook questions from An Introduction to Physical Science 13/e by James Shipman, Jerry Wilson, and Charles A. Higgins, Jr. published by Brooks/Cole. Click here for a list of all of the questions coded in WebAssign. This demo assignment allows many submissions and allows you to try another version of the same question for practice wherever the problem has randomized values.

Assignment Submission

For this assignment, you submit answers by question parts. The number of submissions remaining for each question part only changes if you submit or change the answer.

Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in Figure (a). They "push off" and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.32 m/s. If the boy weighs 705 N and the girl 487 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
(No Response) m/s
