Explanation :
When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :
(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.
(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.
(3) Normal force.
The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.
From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by and normal is balanced by
.
Answer:
I. Stopping acceleration = 6 m/s²
II. Stopping distance, S = 75 meters
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Final velocity = 30 m/s
Time = 5 seconds
To find the stopping acceleration;
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;
Substituting into the equation;
Acceleration = 6 m/s²
II. To find the stopping distance, we would use the third equation of motion;
Where;
V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
30² = 0² + 2*6*S
900 = 12S
S = 900/12
S = 75 meters
