Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

The initial speed of a speed skater, u = 8 m/s

The final speed of a speed skater, v = 6 m/s

Width of patch of rough ice, s = 5 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. Acceleration can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(6)^2-(8)^2}{2\times 5}\\\\a=-2.8\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice is 2.8\ m/s^2. Negative sign shows that its speed is decreased.
