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.

The speed of water flowing through a hose increases from 2.05 m/s to 31.4 m/s as it goes through the nozzle. What is the pressur
Nimfa-mama [501]

The pressure in the hose as the speed of water changes from 2.05 m/s to 31.4 m/s as it goes through the nozzle is 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m².

Given:

The flow of water through the hose initially, v₁ = 2.05 m/s

The flow of water through the hose initially, v₂ = 31.4 m/s

Calculation:

From Bernoulli's equation we have:

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + 1/2 ρv₂² + ρgh₂

where P₁ is atmospheric pressure

           P₂ is the pressure in the hose

           ρ is the density of the fluid

           h₁ is the initial height

           h₂ is the final height

           v₁ is the initial velocity of the fluid

           v₂ is the final velocity of the fluid  and

           g is the acceleration due to gravity

Re-arranging the above equation we get:

P₂ = P₁ + 1/2 ρ(v₁²-v₂²) + ρg (h₁-h₂)

Applying values in the above equation we get:

P₂ = P₁ + 1/2 ρ(v₁²-v₂²) + ρg (0)

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ 1/2 (10³ g/m³) [(31.4m/s)²-(2.05 m/s)²]

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ 1/2 (10³ g/m³) [981.7575]

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ (4.91 × 10⁵ Pa)

    = 5.92 × 10⁵ Pa

    = 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure in the hose is 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m².
