A 62.0 kg skier is moving at 6.50 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal snow covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long
12. A 62 kg skier is moving at 6.5 m/s on frictionless horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.30. After crossing the rough patch and returning to friction free snow, she skis down an icy frictionless hell 2.5 m high. A) How much work is done by friction in crossing the patch? B) How fast is the skier moving when she gets...
Use the work–energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton’s laws to check your answers. A)A skier moving at 4.25 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220 with her skis. How far does she travel on this patch before stopping? B)Suppose the rough patch in part A was only 2.89 m long. How fast would the skier be moving when she reached the end of the...
Use the work–energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton’s laws to check your answers. A) A skier moving at 5.57 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220 with her skis. How far does she travel on this patch before stopping? Express your answer with the appropriate units. B) Suppose the rough patch in part A was only 2.99 m long. How fast would the skier...
On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 6.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 46 % due to a friction force that is 26 % of her weight. Use the work-energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch.
"On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 4.3 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 42% due to a friction force that is 24% of her weight. Use the work—energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch."
On an essentially frictionless horizontal ice-skating rink, a skater moving at 2.8 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 47 % to a friction force that is 22 % of her weight. Use the work-energy principle to find the length of the rough patch.
