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.

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 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)

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...

Children are playing a game of ice hockey on a frozen lake. One of the children throws a 1200g water bottle with velocity 0.4 m/s to another kid, weighing 41 kg, sitting motionless on the ice who catches the bottle 0.2 m from their COM at angle of impact of 12 degrees. The child on the ice has a center mass moment of inertia of 38 kg m^2. Assuming the ice is perfectly friction-less, answer the following. 1.) How does...
