It is said that in ancient times a rich man with a bag ofgold coins was stranded on the surface of a frozen lake.Because the ice was frictionless, he could not push himselfto shore and froze to death. What could he have done tosave himself had he not been so miserly?

How much additional force must be provided by the driving engines of (a) the faster barge and (b) the slower barge if neither is to change speed? Assume that the shoveling is always perfectly sideways and that the frictional forces between the barges and the water do not depend on the mass of the bargesarrow_forwardA person is sitting at the very back of a canoe of length L, when the front just bumps into the dock. Part (a) If the canoeist gets up and walks to the front of the canoe and there is no friction between the boat and the water, how far will they be from the dock? Express your answer in terms of the length of the canoe, the mass of the person mp, and the mass of the canoe mc. Part (b) What will this distance be, in meters, if the length of the canoe is 4.5 m, the person's mass is 53 kg, and the canoe's mass is 69 kg? Please show all work and explain.arrow_forwardA nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg. Number Units Narrow_forward
