Answer:
a) 4.98m/s²
b) 481.66N
Explanation:
a) Using the Newtons second law of motion
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Fm is the moving force acting along the plane
Ff is the frictional force opposing the moving froce
a is the acceleration of the skier
Given
m = 60kg
g = 9.8m/s²
= 35°
Ff = 38.5N
Required
acceleration of the skier a
Substituting into the formula;
Hence the acceleration of the skier is 4.98m/s²
b) The normal force on the skier is expressed as;
N = Wcosθ
N = mgcosθ
N = 60(9.8)cos 35°
N = 588cos 35°
N = 481.66N
Hence the normal force on the skier is 481.66N
