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.

what occurs when force is applied over a certain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?
faltersainse [42]

An object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and with the same speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs. The strength of the force is related to the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

Wha is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second          (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

Hopes this helps, love <3

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.
