A62 kg skier is moving at 6.5 m/s on frictionless horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long. the coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.30. after crossing the rough patch and returning to friction free snow, she skis down an icy frictionless hell 2.5 m high. a) how much work is done by friction in crossing the patch? b) how fast is the skier moving when she gets the bottom of the hill? [hint: b) use the conservation of total

(A). The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B). The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of skier = 62 kg

Speed = 6.5 m/s

Length = 3.50 m

Coefficient kinetic friction = 0.30

Height = 2.5 m

(A) we need to calculate the work done by friction in crossing the patch

Using formula of work done

Put the value into the formula

The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B) we need to calculate the speed of skier

Using conservation of energy

Final potential energy is zero

So,

Put the value into the formula

The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Hence,  (A).The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B).The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
