Answer:
Impulse of force = -80 Ns
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass = 50kg
Initial velocity = 1.6m/s
Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).
Now, we would find the change in velocity.
Substituting into the equation above;
Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s
Substituting into the equation, we have;
<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>
<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>
The work done by the machine is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applieds, so in this case:

And the power of the machine is equal to the ratio between the work done by the machine and the time taken:
The movement of the object is considered to be kinetic energy while the object getting warmer indicates that there is thermal (heat) energy formed.
Based on this, as the object slides across the floor, friction slows down this motion and the object becomes warmer as kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy.
