Question

Phil (?? = 29 ?g) is sliding on some frictionless ice, due north, at 2.6-m/s. He notices a leaf frozen in the ice as he slides directly over. 12-s after he was above the leaf, a great wind blows from the west exerting a 15-N force on him for 6 seconds. When the wind stops blowing, find the following:

a. Phil’s position and distance from the leaf. [ ?2 = −9.3?̂+ 46.8?̂? ?2 = 47.7 ?]

b. Phil’s velocity and speed. [?⃗2 = −3.1?̂+ 2.6?̂ ?/? ?2 = 4.05 ?/?]

c. The direction Phil is traveling measured from due north. [? = 50∘ ? ?f ? ]
