Do not take air into account as friction. The most entaining/ creative answer or the most well thought out accurate answer will win. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: both teams have impeccable groin muscles and one person (there are two on each side) on side B sneezes who will win the contest? Do not take air into account as friction. The most entaining/ creative answer or the most well thought out accurate answer will win. Team B wins by a nose! ...(Hurrah?) Since the ice is frictionless, the "impeccable groin muscles" are a matter of no importance whatever. Team B will win since the reaction force of that sneeze is the only force you mention not lost to the "frictionless ice" . You're a jerk, selling winning answers like that. Tsk Tsk... well, they wouldnt get their feet on the ground, and they wouldnt be able to even stand on frictionless ice I think I'll cross that bridge when i come to it. This is a physics question. Best ask it over on the physics board. Hi!! i think it would be the team, whose captain had the good sense to tell them to put sacking over their boots. Cannot think of a better way under the circumstances. maybe because they used up energy. |
