A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jumps from the first log onto a second. After landing safely on the second log, she slows down and ends up standing on the second log. Both logs both have masses of 150 kg each and the mass of the lumberjack is 70 kg. The lumberjack reaches a speed of 7.0 m/s relative to the shore during her jump. What is the speed of the lumberjack after she has stopped on the second log? You may assume the drag of the water on the logs is very small. Please answer in units of m/s.
An ice skater with a mass of 48.0 kg is gliding across a smooth lake with a speed of 2.85 m/s when she hits a spot of ice covered with snow. After a time of 7.75 s she has slowed to a stop. Using your knowledge of momentum, determine the magnitude of the average force of friction acting on the ice skater while she slows to a stop.
