Answer:
S=48.29 m
Explanation:
Given that the height of the hill h = 2.9 m
Coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow μ = 0.08
Let u be the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.
By applying conservation of energy at the top and bottom of the inclined plane we get.
Potential Energy=kinetic Energy
mgh = (1/2) mu²
u² = 2gh
u²=2(9.81)(2.9)
=56.89
u=7.54 m/s
a = - f / m
a = - μ*m*g / m
a = - μg
From equation of motion
v²- u² = 2 -μ g S
v=0 m/s
-(7.54)²=-2(0.06)(9.81)S
S=48.29 m
If the separation between the charges is increased then the magnitude of the force will increase in fact how the distance is being used in that formula.
