Answer:

The skater covers a distance of <u>15 m</u> before stopping.

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled before stopping be 'd' m.

Given:

Mass of the skater (m) = 90 kg

Initial velocity of the skater (u) = 12.0 m/s

Final velocity of the skater (v) = 0 m/s (Stops finally)

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.490

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, we know that, from work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force on a body is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

Here, the net force acting on the skater is only frictional force which acts in the direction opposite to motion.

Frictional force is given as:

f=\mu N

Where, 'N' is the normal force acting on the skater. As there is no vertical motion, N=mg

∴ f=\mu mg=0.490\times 90\times 9.8=432.18\ N

Now, work done by friction is a negative work as friction and displacement are in opposite direction and is given as:

W=-fd=-432.18d

Now, change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}\times 90(0-12^2)\\\\\Delta K=45\times (-144)=-6480\ J

Therefore, from work-energy theorem,

W=\Delta K\\\\-432.18d=6480\\\\d=\frac{6480}{432.18}\\\\d=14.99\approx 15\ m

Hence, the skater covers a distance of 15 m before stopping.

Answer:

5235.84 kg

Explanation:

There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.

F\Delta t = m \Delta v As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh, \Delta v = 69.4 m/s;

45 450 \cdot 8 = 69.4 m \rightarrow m = \frac{45450\cdot 8}{69.4} = 5235.84 kg
