Answer:

671.76 kg or 6590 N

Explanation:

So the buoyant force generated by the floating ice is equals to the mass of water displaced by the submerged ice. We also need to account for gravity of ice. The resulting additional mass that the ice sheet can support is the difference between the mass of water displaced by ice and the mass of ice submerged totally in water.

m = m_w - m_i

m = V\rho_w - V\rho_i

m = V(\rho_w - \rho_i) = 6.22*(1025 - 917) = 671.76 kg

So the ice piece can support an additional 671.76 kg of bear, or 671.76 * 9.81 = 6590 N

Answer:

* roller skates and ice skates.

* roller coaster

Explanation:

One of the best examples for this situation is when we are skating, in the initial part we must create work with a force, it compensates to move, after this the external force stops working and we continue movements with kinetic energy, if there are some ramps, we can going up, where the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and when going down again it is transformed into kinetic energy. This is true for both roller skates and ice skates.

Another example is the roller coaster, in this case the motor creates work to increase the energy of the car by raising it, when it reaches the top the motor is disconnected, and all the movement is carried out with changes in kinetic and potential energy. In the upper part the energy is almost all potential, it only has the kinetic energy necessary to continue the movement and in the lower part it is all kinetic; At the end of the tour, the brakes are applied that bring about the non-conservative forces that decrease the mechanical energy, transforming it into heat.
