First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force,
. For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
where
is the final speed of the skier and 
is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:

(a) The turtle's initial velocity is 4 m/s, initial position of the turtle is 5 cm, and initial acceleration is -1.25 m/s².
(b) The time when the velocity of the turtle is zero is 3.2 s.
(c) The time taken for the turtle to return to its starting point is 6.4 s.
(d) The time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm is 0.08 s.
<h3>Initial velocity of the turtle</h3>The initial velocity of the turtle is calculated as follows;
The initial acceleration of the turtle is calculated as follows;
x(t) = 5 + 4t - 0.625t²
x(0) = 5 cm
<h3>Time when the velocity becomes zero</h3>v(t) = 4 - 1.25t
0 = 4 - 1.25t
1.25t = 4
t = 4/1.25
t = 3.2 s
<h3>Time taken to return to starting point</h3>The total distance traveled is calculated as follows
v² = u² + 2ad
0 = (4)² + 2(-1.25)d
0 = 16 - 2.5d
2.5d = 16
d = 16/2.5
d = 6.4 m
Time to travel the given distance;
d = ut + ¹/₂at²
6.4 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²
6.4 = 4t - 0.625t²
0.625t² - 4t + 6.4 = 0
solve the quadratic equation using formula method;
t = 3.2 s
The time travel the distance two times, = 2 x 3.2 s = 6.4 s
<h3>Time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm</h3>d = ut + ¹/₂at²
0.3 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²
0.3 = 4t - 0.625t²
0.625t² - 4t + 0.3 = 0
solve the quadratic equation using formula method;
t = 0.08 s
