You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery
The way to get to the shore in the given situation.
Explanation of Solution
This is according to Newton’s third law which says that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, if we throw the rock with a force in the opposite direction as an action then rocks also apply force on us in the direction of their movement.
We can understand this with the below free body diagram.
Figure.1
Conclusion:
On a frictionless surface, if anybody wants to move in a certain direction than he/she must throw something in the opposite direction.

- An inflated spherical beach ball with a radius of 0.3573 m and average density of 10.65 kg/m3 is being held under water in a pool by Janelle. The density of the water in the pool is 1000.0 kg/m3. When Janelle releases the ball, it begins to rise to the surface. If the drag coefficient of the ball in the water is 0.470 and the constant upward force on the ball is 1875 N, what will be the terminal speed of the ball as it rises? Ignore the effects of gravity on the ball.arrow_forwardWhen rebuilding his car's engine, a physics major must continuously exert 1.16 ✕ 102 N of force to insert a dry steel piston as it slides into a steel cylinder. What is the normal force (in N) between the piston and cylinder? A.) (Enter the magnitude.) B.)What force (in N) would he have to continuously exert if the steel parts were oiled? (Enter the magnitude.)arrow_forwardYou are quite excited with the lesson in friction that you learned in Physics 1A that you decide to measure the coefficient of kinetic friction of surfaces. You try your idea on a glass surface and a glass cup (mass = 0.15 kg). You set the glass cup moving with an initial speed of 2.8 m/s. After travelling a length of 1 m, it stopped. What then is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the glass-glass surfaces?arrow_forward
- You and four of your friends are all interested in getting out of town for a break. Two of your friends just want to relax while the other two want to get some exercise. You need some quiet time to study. To satisfy everyone, the group decides to spend the day canoeing on the river. Two people will put a canoe in the river and just drift downstream with the 1.5 km/h current. The second pair will begin at the same time as the first from 10. km downstream. They will paddle upstream until the two canoes meet. Since you have been canoeing with these people before, you know that they can paddle at 4.0 km/h in still water. When the two canoes meet, they will come to shore and you should be there to meet them with the picnic lunch. You decide to go to that spot ahead of time so you can study while you wait for your friends. How far from where the drifters launched will you wait for them? After lunch you decide to paddle across the river, which is 0.50 km wide. You can paddle 3.0 km/h in…arrow_forwardOne of the complicating factors in analyzing motion is the presence of friction. It is difficult to isolate the effect of friction and to imagine what motion looks like without it. Newton's 2nd law of motion states that a force applied to a mass will cause an acceleration, f = ma. UNLESS THE PROBLEM STATES OTHERWISE, assume the experiments below are performed on a surface of smooth ice so that the effect of friction is negligible. 1) a. Imagine a cube-shaped mass of 100 kg. If two people push it to the right, one with a force of 150 N, and one with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience? b. Instead, if one person pushes to the right with a force of 150 N, and the second person pushed to the left with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience?arrow_forwardPart A If you weigh 170.0 lb at sea level, how much would you weigh at the top of Mt.

- A crate of mass m=66.2 kg is on a horizontal surface. Assume there is no friction between the crate and the surface. Two forces with magnitude F=11.2 N are applied to the crate, as shown. One force is horizontal, and the other makes and angle of φ = 37.4∘ with horizontal, as shown. A. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate in terms of F, m, and φ. B. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate in m/s2?arrow_forwardTopic: You find yourself trapped in the middle of a large frozen lake. Assume the ice has no friction.

- Block A (1 kg) sits on block B (2 kg), which rests on a table. The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are μs=0.5 and μk=0.1. The coefficients of friction between block B and the table are μs=0.7 and μk=0.3. a. If I push horizontally on block B, how hard do I need to push to get it to move?b. If I continue to push with that force on block B after it has begun moving, will block A move with the same acceleration?c. How hard must I push on block B (horizontally) to make block A slip?!arrow_forward24.
