A man wearing ice skates throws an 8-kg block with an initial velocity of 2 m/s, measured relative to himself, in the direction shown. If he is originally at rest and completes the throw in 1.5 s while keeping his legs

15-12

A man wearing ice skates throws an 8-kg block with an initial velocity of 2 m/s, measured relative to himself, in the direction shown. If he is originally at rest and completes the throw in 1.5 s while keeping his legs rigid, determine the horizontal velocity of the man just after releasing the block. What is the average vertical reaction of both his skates on the ice during the throw? The man has a mass of 70 kg. Neglect friction and the motion of his arms.

[A].	vman = 0.1776 m/s, Navg = 765 N
[B].	vman = 0.1979 m/s, Navg = 771 N
[C].	vman = 0.1776 m/s, Navg = 771 N
[D].	vman = 0.1979 m/s, Navg = 765 N
