Answer:
(A). The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.
(B). The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of skier = 62 kg
Speed = 6.5 m/s
Length = 3.50 m
Coefficient kinetic friction = 0.30
Height = 2.5 m
(A) we need to calculate the work done by friction in crossing the patch
Using formula of work done
Put the value into the formula
The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.
(B) we need to calculate the speed of skier
Using conservation of energy
Final potential energy is zero
So,
Put the value into the formula
The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.
Hence, (A).The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.
(B).The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.
