A man is at rest in the middle of apond on perfectly smooth ice. He can get himself to the shore by making use of Newton's

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Newton's third law, because when he throws something opposite to the direction of the shore then due to his action he will get the reaction opposite to it, which will help him to start moving towards the shore.

Suppose you are standing on a boat in the middle of a swimming pool. The boat is loaded with a bag of stones. Can you get to the shore using the stones ? If yes, explain the concept behind it.

A man in a boat rows 3 miles off along straight shore and wants to reach a point 4 miles up the shore on the opposite side. If he can row 2 miles/hour and walk 4 miles/hour, describe his fastest route.

Along a road lie an odd number of stones placed at intervals of 10 metres. These stones have to be assembled around the middle stone. A person can carry only one stone at a time. A man carried the job with one of the end stones by carrying them in succession. In carrying all the stones he covered a distance of 3 km. Find the number of stones.

A man of mass 60 kg is standing on a boat of mass 140 kg, which is at rest in still water. The man is initially at 20 m from the shore. He starts walking on the boat for 4 s with constant speed 1.5 m/s towards the shore. The final distance of the man from the shore is

The track shown in figure is frictionless. The block B of mass 2 m is lying at rest and the block A of mass m is placed along the track with some speed. The collision between A and B is perfectly elastic. With what velocity should the block A be started to get the sleeping man awakened ?

A man can walk on the shore at a speed v_1 = 6 km/hr & swim in still water with a speed V_2 = 5 km/hr. If the speed of water is V_3 = 4 km/hr, at what angle should he head in the river in order to reach the exactly opposite point of the other shore in "shortest time including his swimming & walking?

A 2kg mass is attached to a spring of force constant 600 N//m and rests on a smooth horizontal surface. A second mass of 1kg slides along the surface toward the first at 6m//s .

(b) Find the amplitude and period of oscillation if the collision is perfectly elastic. ( c) For each case , write down the position x as a function of time t for the mass attached to the spring, assuming that the collision occurs at time t = 0 . What is the impulse given to the 2kg mass in each case ?
