On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 3.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed

by 45% due to a friction force that is 25% of her weight. Use the work‑energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch.

Answer: 1.25 m

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_i )=3 m/s

Final velocity(v_f)=0.55\times 3=1.65 m/s

Change in kinetic Energy =work done by Friction

change in Kinetic Energy=\frac{m}{2}\left ( v_i^2-v_f^2\right )

work done by friction=\mu mgL

\frac{m}{2}\left ( 3^2-1.65^2\right )=0.25\cdot mg\times L

3.135=0.25\times 9.8\times L

L=1.25

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m
