Astudent wearing frictionless in-line skates on a horizontal surface is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 45 n. how far must the student be pushed, starting from rest, so that her final kinetic energy is 352 j?

This is just so you can mark the first answerer as the brainliest. They did a very good job in answering!

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
