An 84.4-kg man is standing at the rear of a 425-kg iceboat that is moving at 4.16 ms⁻¹ across ice that is assumed to be frictionless. He decides to walk to the front of the 18.2-m-long boat and does so at a speed of 2.08 ms⁻¹ with respect to the boat. How far did the boat move across the ice while he was walking?

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock so it has velocity 12.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the earth at an angle of $35.0^{\circ}$ above the borizontal. If your mass is 70.0 $\mathrm{kg}$ and the rock's mass is 15.0 kg, what is your speed after you throw the rock (see Discussion Question $Q 8.7$ ?
