A 712 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius of 5.9 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 2.2 kg physics textbook horizontally towards the north shore at a speed of 6.0 m/s. How long does it take him to reach the south shore?
Solutions
Expert Solution
Given the weight of the student, 
Mass of the student, 
===============
First, find the velocity of the student after he/she throws the physics textbook.
While throwing the book, momentum is conserved
Initial momentum = Final momentum
The negative sign just indicates that the student will move in the opposite direction with respect to the direction in which the book was thrown.
So the speed of student, 
Since there is no friction, the student will move with constant velocity.
Speed = Distance/Time
Time = Distance/Speed
Distance to cover is equal to the radius of the pond.

You and your friends are doing physics experiments on a frozen
pond that serves as a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sam, with
mass 76.0 kg , is given a push and slides eastward. Abigail, with
mass 56.0 kg , is sent sliding northward. They collide, and after
the collision Sam is moving at 36.0 ∘ north of east with a speed of
6.20 m/s and Abigail is moving at 21.0 ∘ south of east with a speed
of 9.20 m/s ....

A hockey player is standing on his skates on a frozen pond when
an opposing player, moving with a uniform speed of 5.0 m/s, skates
by with the puck. After 1.50 s, the first player makes up his mind
to chase his opponent. If he accelerates uniformly at 0.31 m/s2,
determine each of the following. (a) How long does it take him to
catch his opponent? (Assume the player with the puck remains in
motion at constant speed.) (b) How...

A girl stands on the rim of a merry-go-round of radius 2.0 m
that is not moving. The rotational inertia of the merry-go-round
(including the girl’s inertia) is 800 kg∙m2. She throws a rock of
mass 0.5 kg horizontally in a direction that is tangent to the
outer edge of the merry-go-round. The speed of the rock, relative
to the ground, is 4.0 m/s. (a) What is the angular speed of the
merry-go-round? (b) What is the speed of the...

You have constructed a 5-kg toy iceboat which you set on a
frictionless frozen pond when a sudden wind exerts a constant force
on the boat of 100 N due west. Due to how you have set the sails,
the wind causes the boat to slide 10.0 m in a straight line at 30◦
north of west. What is the speed of the boat at the end of those
10.0 m?

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone
horizontally over the edge with a speed of 10.0 m/s. the cliff is
50.0 m above a flat horizontal beach. (a) how long after being
released does the stone strike the beach before the cliff? (b) find
the speed just before the stone strikes the beach. (c) find the
traveling horizontal distance for the stone

A 65 kg woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having
a moment of inertia of 520 kg·m2 and a radius of 2.0 m.
The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a
frictionless vertical axle through its center. The woman then
starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the
system) at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the Earth.
(a) In what direction and with what angular speed...
