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:
= Heat released to cold reservoir
= Heat released to hot reservoir
= maximum amount of work
= temperature of cold reservoir
= temperature of hot reservoir
we know that

eq-1
maximum work is given as
=
- 
using eq-1
=
- 
Answer:
D. Battery
During the oxidation-reduction(redox) reaction, there is always flow of electrons from one point to another. The electrons are then converted to power through the battery which converts chemical energy to electrical energy. If there is zero flow of electrons then there will also be zero power.
Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons: The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.
