Question

14. A 100-kg fisherman and a 500-kg supply crate are on a frozen pond that is essentially frictionless. The man and the crate are initially separated by a distance of 60 meters. The fisherman uses a very light rope to pull the crate closer to him. How far has the man moved when the crate reaches the fisherman? (a) zero meters (b) 10 m (c) 30 m (d) 50 m (e) 60 m

Step 1

$m_f = 100 kg$ $m_c = 500 kg$ The initial distance between the fisherman and the crate is $d = 60 m$. The system is frictionless. Show more…
