Chapter 8, Problem 47P
Walking in a boat. A 45.0 kg woman stands up in a 60.0 kg canoe of length 5.00 m. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point 1.00 m from the other end. (See Figure 8.45.) If the resistance of the water is negligible, how far does the canoe move during this process? Figure 8.45

Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.42 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
A child on a sled has been given a push so that he is moving up a hill. The hill is covered with icy snow and can be treated as frictionless. The child has a mass of 22.7 kg; the sled has a 3.18 kg. How far will he go before coming to a stop if his speed is 2.26 m/s when he starts at the bottom of the hill? He holds on tightly and so does not fall off the sled, and the hill makes an angle of 25.50 with the horizontal.
