SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around applying the law of conservation of energy to analyze the kinetic energy loss of a washer sliding on ice. The washer impacts the ice at an angle of 60 degrees and subsequently jumps at an angle of 30 degrees, with a coefficient of sliding friction of 0.04. Participants emphasize the importance of using the equations for momentum and energy conservation, specifically referencing the relationship dp = F * dt, where F represents the force of friction. The task involves calculating the kinetic energy losses during the impact.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the law of conservation of energy
  • Knowledge of basic physics concepts such as momentum and friction
  • Familiarity with angles in degrees for motion analysis

Law of conservation of enegry and one task :)

I must to do it, but I have no ideas about how to do...
------------
The washer hits on a horizontal surface of an ice under the corner a=60 and jumps aside under the corner b = 30. Factor of a sliding friction of the washer on the ice u = 0,04. Find losses of kinetic energy of the washer at impact. Movement of the washer consider forward.
------------
Thanks.

What are the units of a and b?
 
Degrees :)
Someone told me that dp = F * dt, where F is force of friction. Next write law of conservation momentum and energy. And next solve some equtions :)
