There is a lot of glare off of the ice, due to the sun and it also is always good to have eye protection in case you fall face first :P
Answer:
C.) A high velocity and Large mass.
Explanation:
Momentum of any object is defined by following formula
Here
: m = mass of object
v = velocity of object
now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity
So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more. So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03
Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:

where

is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:

since we know that F=300 N and

, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is

due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
