One of the advantages of skates is that they allow you to push against ice, which
typically has low friction. Let’s consider an hockey player on frictionless ice who is
going to shoot a slap shot. The player weighs Mp = 100kg. He is going to fire the
puck, which weighs Mpuck = 0.5kg with a velocity of v = 50(m/s). How fast does the
hockey player recoil in the direction opposite to the puck’s trajectory. If the force he
exerts on the puck occurs over a time, ∆t = 0.1s what is the average force needed to
create the impulse that accelerates the puck to that velocity?

Please explain carefully so that I can understand it!

Yes/No

(b) Is the momentum of the system constant?

Yes/No

(c) Is the angular momentum of the system constant?

Yes/No

(d) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate?

Magnitude: ___ rad/s

Direction: Clockwise/Counterclockwise

(e) How much chemical energy does the woman's body convert into mechanical energy of the woman–turntable system as the woman sets herself and the turntable into motion?
___ J

Hydrogen is used in some semiconducting devices to improve their performance. Consider a material in which atomic hydrogen (H) diffuses at 1.8 × 10-24 m2/s at 329 K.

1) When in use, the device is exposed to a large electric field. If the force on each charged hydrogen nucleus is 10 -11 N, use the fluctuation-dissipation relation to find out how fast they drift in the field at 329 K.
