A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.450 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 97.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.280 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 17.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving).
Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock directly backward.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a
frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.490 m/s. The
total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 95.0 kg. The mass of the
rock is 0.260 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 16.0 m/s.
Both speeds are relative to the ground.
Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the
rock forward (i.e., in...

Twins are sliding a rock back and forth on a frozen lake with
negligible friction. The mass of each child is 21.0 kg and the mass
of the rock is 2.6 kg. Each time the rock is given a push by the
child who just caught it, it leaves the hand with a speed of 1.8
m/s relative to the child's hand.
A. The twins are intitially at rest and the sister first slides the
rock toward her brother in...

A 200 kg sled that is 40m long is sliding eastward at a speed of
5 m/s relative to the icy ground below. A 60 kg human is standing
at the eastern edge of the sled and suddenly begins running
westward at a constant speed of 10 m/s relative to the center of
mass of the system that consists of the sled and the human.
1) Explain why the sled speed increase after the human starts to
run.
2) Determine...

a boy pulls his 6.35kg sled 5m across a patch of ice where the
sled accelerates at a=0.39m/s^2. He pulls the sled by a rope with
tension 10.6N at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. (a)
Find the work done by each force. (b) Find the net work
A rock sits at the bottom of a fish tank and the level of the water...
A rock sits at the bottom of a fish tank and the level of the
water in the tank is noted. The rock is then put into an old
fashioned ice cube tray (made from aluminium) and is floated on the
top of the water. The level is again noted. Which of the following
is true?
a). The water level is the same before and after.
b). The water level is higher before when rock is at the bottom
of...

A man drops a rock into a well.
(a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.20
s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound
in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s.
How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water?
(answer in meters)
(b) If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage
error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?
(percentage)

6. A 600 N person sits on a 50 N sled. The coefficient of static
friction is 0.14. How much force is needed, respectively, to start
the motion by pushing [A] and pulling [B] at an angle of 30°?
(Rounding to the nearest integer)

One non-powered sled is sliding over a snowed surface, first
down from the top of a flat and inclined plane using only gravity
and no initial speed and then it continues to move along a
horizontal surface until a full stop. The plane’s surface is
inclined with 45 degrees relative to the horizontal. The top of the
inclined plane is 2 meters high relative to the same horizontal
surface. The friction coefficient between the sled and snow is 0.05
on...
