You are stuck in the middle of a frictionless frozen lake without any reception.
To get back to the shoreline, you decide you must throw your phone away. You throw it with a velocity of 20.0 m/s, at an angle of 10° above the horizontal. If your mass is 20.0 kg and your phone is 100 g, what is your speed
after you throw your phone

Answer #1

(1) mass of person M = 20 kg;

mass of phone m = 0.1 kg;

horizontal speed of phone can be obtained by resolving the velocity in horizontal direction, thus;

linear momentum of the phone;

since surface is frictionless, so momentum is conserved thus;

(in the opposite direction to the ball)

A 41.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.300-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 2.00 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. (The speed of the ball is relative to the lake.)...

1. A rubber ball with a mass of 1.35 kg is stuck in a tree. To knock it out, you throw a golf ball with a mass of 0.0450 kg at it. The golf ball hits the rubber ball with a speed of 20.0 m/s and bounces off with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The golf ball is moving in the same direction horizontally after the collision as it was before it hit the rubber ball. When the golf ball...

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. The top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. You have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. The ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. You throw the rock from a height of 1.60...

You and your friends are doing physics experiments on a frozen pond that serves as a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sam, with mass 78.0 kg, is given a push and slides eastward. Abigail, with mass 59.0 kg, is sent sliding northward. They collide, and after the collision Sam is moving at 33.0 circ north of east with a speed of 7.00 m/s and Abigail is moving at 25.0 circ south of east with a speed of 8.40 m/s. What was the...

A person with mass mp=80 kg is standing at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface holding a ball of wet clay with mass mg=10 kg . In front of the person is a large block with mass M=20 kg at rest next to a spring with stiffness k=100 N/m . The person throws the ball horizontally, it sticks to the block, and then ball and block slide and compress the spring a distance 1=0.75 m away from equilibrium before the...

While playing a game in your backyard, you accidentally get a frisbee stuck in a tree. The frisbee has a mass of 0.130 kg. You start to poke it with a stick to try and get it down, but instead of going down it just moves to the right by a distance of 0.142 meters. While you were poking it, there were 4 forces on it: 1. Gravity 2. Normal force, upward (from a tree branch) 3. Friction force, to...
