Question

A skater of mass m standing on ice throws a stone of mass M with a velocity of v in a horizontal direction. The distance over which the skater will move back (the coefficient of friction between the skater and the ice is μ) :

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution


Pi = 0            ...(i)
Pf = MV − mV1     ....(ii)
MV − mV1 = 0         ⇒    u = V.
using     V12 = u2 + 2ax.
a = mg.
= 0 + 2μg x.
∴    x =
