A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the

skier encounters a horizontal surface. The skier travels on the horizontal surface a distance of 95.2 meters before coming to a rest. What is the magnitude of the (constant) friction force (in N) that the rough horizontal surface exerts on the skier

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is m=82.9\ kg

Height of the inclination is h=20\ m

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.

julsineya [31]
The weight of an object is the force of gravity between Earth's
mass and the object's mass.

The forces of gravity always come in equal, opposite pairs. 
The Earth's weight on the object is the same as the object's
weight on the Earth, and when the object falls to Earth, Earth
falls to the object.

Kai swims for the school swim team. He specializes in a backstroke event where he has to swim the 50 m length of the pool three
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Displacement is 50 m

Explanation:

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled.

Thus, since he swims the 50m length pool 3 times, then the total distance = 50 × 3 = 150 m

Whereas, displacement is the measurement of length of the shortest path from initial point to final point.

In this case initial point to final point is 50m. Thus, the displacement is 50 m

Answer: <u>elastically</u> deformed or <u>non-permanently</u> deformed

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, there are two types of deformations:

-Plastic deformation (also called irreversible or permanent deformation), in which the material does not return to its original form after removing the applied force, therefore it is said that the material was permanently deformed.

This is because the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes while it is subjected to the applied forces.

-Elastic deformation (also called reversible or non-permanent deformation), in which the material returns to its original shape after removing the applied force that caused the deformation.

In this case t<u>he material also undergoes thermodynamic changes, but these are reversible, causing an increase in its internal energy by transforming it into elastic potential energy.</u>

<u />

Therefore, the situation described in the question is related to elastic deformation.
