Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. At time t = 0 a person is sliding due east on a flat, frictionless plane of ice. The net force on this person is due to a battery-powered fan the person holds that exerts a southward thrust force on the person. Assuming that drag is negligible, the eastward component of the person’s velocity is unaffected by this force.
