IV. More practice with momentum and collisions A. A skater of mass 45.0 kg standing on ice throws a stone of mass 7.65 kg with a speed of 20.9 m/s in a horizontal direction. Find: 1. The speed of the skater after throwing the stone. 2. The distance over which the skater will move in the opposite direction if the coefficient of kinetic friction between his skates and the ice is 0.03. Include an energy bar chart in your solution. B. A tall man walking at 1.25 m/s accidentally bumps his head of mass 2.95 kg on a steel doorframe. His head stops in 0.011 s. 1. What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the doorframe on the man's head? 2. Explain why putting padding on the doorframe would help reduce this force.
