Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Answer:

shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

In this case, when a negative charge is placed on it, both the inventor and the shirt are charged, therefore there is a repulsive force, also there is an attraction between the positive charge of the roof attracts the negative charge, such as the shirt. of weak the two forces not greater than the resistance of the walk.

As the shirt is little attached to the body, it can come off and fly away
