A 100 kg man is stuck, motionless, in the middle of a frozen pond. Imagine that the surface of the pond is frictionless. Because it's cold, he's wearing a coat. He wants to get off the pond. Since he has studied Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, and he knows about the conservation of momentum, he decides to throw his 2 kg coat away from him which will make him move as a reaction.

If he throws the coat at 25 m/s South from him, what will his velocity be as a result?

P (ball) is (Mass(ball) x Velocity(ball)) = P(man) is (Mass(man) x Velocity(man))

V = P / M ( + direction)

Group of answer choices

0 m/s

25 m/s South

0.5 m/s North

2 m/s North
