Hello:)! I don’t really understand the uniform deceleration too :/
1 answer:
Answer:
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration.
The mathematical formula for deceleration is:
Uniform deceleration of an object can be defined as decreasing the velocity of an object in equal amount in an equal interval of time.
The graph attached below shows a constant decrease in the velocity with a uniform time interval.

Here are the missing questions:
(a) How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill?
(b) How much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?
Part A
The initial kinetic energy of the skier is:
Part of this energy is then used to do work against the force of friction. Force of friction on the horizontal surface can be calculated using following formula:
The work is simply the force times the length:
So when the skier passes over the rough patch its energy is:
When the skier is going down the skill gravitational potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy:
So the final energy of the skier is:
This energy is the kinetic energy of the skier:
Part B
We know that skier lost some of its kinetic energy when crossing over the rough patch. This energy is equal to the work done by the skier against the force of friction.
