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 . (a) Find the amplitude of oscillation if the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision and remain together on the spring. what is the period of oscillation ? (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 ?
