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

How do i find stretch? The problem in questioning has already given me the elastic energy and k-value, but I have no idea how to
finlep [7]

Answer:

Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.

The expression to find the stretch (x) is x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Explanation:

Given:

Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.

To find: Elongation in the spring (x).

We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).

The formula to find EPE is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}

Example:

If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.

Elongation or stretch is given as:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times EPE}{k}}\\\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 100}{2}}\\\\x=\sqrt{100}=10\ m

Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.

So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.

You are traveling at 14 m/s for 20 seconds. What is your displacement?
enyata [817]

Velocity = 14 m/s

Time = 20 s

Displacement = Velocity×Time = (14×20) m = 280 m

The displacement is 280 m towards the direction of motion.
