This is a physics question using static friction:

An ice fishing hut weighing 52 N sits on a dry, frozen lake.

(a) What is the magnitude of the initial horizontal force required to make the ice-fishing hut start sliding across the surface of the frozen pond?

A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a 45.0-kg block of ice across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. Gine the coefficient of static friction to be μ_s= 0.1, and the coefficient of kinetic friction to be μ_k= 0.03

(a) Calculate the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving.

(b) What is the magnitude of its acceleration once it starts to move if that force is maintained?

Three smooth stones, A, B and C are initially at rest, in contactwith each other on the smooth surface of a frozen lake . The massesof the stones are, to 3 significant figures, A = 800 g, B = 600 gand C = 250 g and the coefficient of sliding friction between thestones and the ice is Âµslide = 0.0250. An explosion
between the stones causes them to fly apart across the surface ofthe ice. Stone A flies off due north with an initial speed of 2.40m s-1. Stone B flies off due east with an initial speed of 3.60 ms-1 .
question
If 10% of the total energy of the explosion was converted to thekinetic
energy of the stones, what was the total energy released in theexplosion.
Draw a diagram showing all the forces acting on stone A when it issliding across the ice after the explosion. Calculate how far ittravels before it comes to rest.
