Please help question

[ace]

Michael is stranded on ice that is so slippery that he cannot walk. Recommend a way that he could get himself to nearby hard ground.

Please use methods relating to Newton's Third Law.

Thanks,
Ace

People who ask such questions without showing even a hint of a thought process should be banned from this forum.

I am not a uni student but a high schools student, so if you wouldn't mind, please enlighten me.

Ok, in all seriousness I just need one or a few examples.

Thanks,

Please help me with my question above ^^

Do you see what it says in the banner at the top of this site? Who is this site intended for? Do you think it includes simple Newton's Third Law problems? XD

Is the guy on the ice holding anything?

BTW if you come back here again asking us to just do your HW for you you probably will get your account banned.

Why do you guys have to be such uppity bitches?

The level of "uppity bitchiness" correlates directly to the level of spoon-feeding expected by the asker. Life is tough, deal with it.

Michael waits and waits. He can't think of anything. Eventually he waits too long and must relieve himself. Magically, he discovers that because of Newton's third law, his body gets pushed in a direction opposite to the one he's pissing in.

And by the way, they really shouldn't corrupt young minds with questions like this.

Thanks to the few guys which are a help on this site.

Trust me, the few guys who"helped" you by giving you answers did you more harm than good. Seriously, grow a spine, and show that you attempted to do your own work BEFORE asking for help.

There are plenty of places to get help on Physics homework, both in "real-life" and the Internet. However, this forums is not meant for that, and like others have said, just asking for the answer will not help you understand the material.

There are some online resources such as http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html. Hyperphysics is a pretty old site but a lot of the material are summarized into quick equations and explanation of concepts that could be helpful. In addition, your school may offer peer tutoring sessions for free or low cost, or you could consider hiring a private tutor if you think it is necessary. But before you do that, maybe discussing this with your classmates or teacher could be a faster and cheaper way!

Farting would do just fine, also..So ace, you have your answer. It seems there is no way but to rocket yourself by peeing or farting..

If that's all the bodily fluids you can come up with you have an inactive imagination (at least as compared to my students).

I'd like to think someone standing on ice isn't naked. Thus, bodily fluids won't be necessary.

Well Carl, I'd like to suggest to break the ice and make my way beneath it, yet the man on the ice is obsessed with N3 law. What can I do? Also, farting is my personal philosophy with which I attach my soul to the cosmic consciousness..Stay away from my god you blasphemer! Hahah.

Oh, maybe you meant another bodily fluid to work with..Maybe just pushing the air with your arms would be reasonable as well, assuming ice friction is small enough..

Michael is a male, presumably a physics major. Since there are no girls around to to satisfy his needs, he has lots of built-up sexual energy. The recoil from an ejaculation could easily get him to "hard" ground.

The answer above is clearly the only answer that the problem intended. They would not have unnecessarily given the person a name and used the qualifier "HARD" ground if they wanted one of your alternative solutions

[negru]

blow air
spit
take dump throw poo
get gravitationally pulled by inhomogeneous surroundings
radiation pressure

many options

haha thanks guys for those answers. also thanks to the person who gave me a link to hyperphysics. TY XDXD

i think nasa and these ship companies should use both of you as a superior alternative to send things horizontally and vertically to far to save millions of bucks.
