How can a person stuck in the middle of a frictionless frozen pond safely reach the edge of the pond?
A 86.0 kg diver steps off a 10.0 m high diving board and drops, from rest, straight down into the
water. If he comes to rest 7.20 m beneath the surface of the water, determine the average
resistive force exerted by the water.
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?
