AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how a person can get away from a frictionless surface, we can analyze the situation using the principles of physics, particularly Newton's third law of motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Situation**: - The person is on a frictionless surface, which means there is no frictional force to help them push off the surface. - In a frictionless environment, any movement must be initiated by the person themselves. ...
