The trick to skipping a rock is throwing it at a low angle. This is because the surface tension of the water can only provide so much force, beyond which the rock goes into the water instead of bouncing off its surface. You throw a rock of mass m = 0.05 kg with a speed of vo = 20 m/s. The surface tension of the water can provide a maximum force of F5 N. The collision of the rock with the water lasts At = 0.1s. Assume it bounces off the water at the same angle and speed it collided with. Find the maximum angle (measured from horizontal) at which you can throw the rock and still have it skip off the surface. You can ignore gravity.
