A student on a skateboard is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.15 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is 53.0 kg, air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N, and the speed at the lower end of the incline is 6.90 m/s. Determine the work done (in J) by the student as the skateboard travels down the incline. -415.39 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

W = 609.97J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the work done by the student, you take into account that the total work is equal to the change of the kinetic energy of the student, as follow:

        (1)

The work done by the friction force is negative because it is against the motion of the student.

W: work done by the student = ?

Wf: work done by the friction force

Wg: work done by the gravitational force

Ff: total friction force = 41.0N

m: mass of the skateboard = 53.0kg

d: distance traveled by the student

v: final speed of the student = 6.90m/s

vo: initial speed of the student = 1.40m/s

α: angle of the incline

You first calculate the distance d, with the Pythagoras' theorem

Furthermore, the angle α is:

Then, you solve the equation (1) for W and replace the values of all parameters:

The work done by the student is 609.97J

yo yo yo its papaguy in the house lol

okay, ima .

um it shows links to uh so kinda microsoft website is that were ima go or no? ?

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
