Answer:

Solids have a definite shape and volume because the particles in them are held together tightly.

Explanation:

Liquids have a definite volume but their particles aren't held together as tightly as solids, so liquids take on the shape of the container they are in. Gases have no definite shape OR volume they just float around because the particles in them are so loose they can take on the shape and volume of any container.

A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

disa [49]

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, $\mu m g$ . For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
$ma=-\mu m g$
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
$a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
$2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2$
where $v_f=0$ is the final speed of the skier and $v_i=4.75 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
$S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m$
