Use following information to answer parts a-b: Jack has a dream that he is stranded in the middle of a frozen pond. The ice is frictionless so he isn't able to walk or push off of the ice to get back to shore. All he has is his backpack carrying his heavy physics textbook. a) Explain how Jack could minimize the amount of time it takes for him to get to shore using action/reaction forces. (consider Newton's Second Law). b) Compare and contrast a rocket launch with Jack's strategy to get back to shore. Use the principles of Newton's Third Law in your answer.
