    50 kg skater pushed 0.4m with 150N force, slides 80m before stopping

    so far i have a=3m/s2 t=7.285s v= 21.855m/s i am still stuck on how to get the friction coefficient from this information.

    Finding Rotational Energy and Acceleration of Decending Mass

    Okay that sounds right I have that done but how do we get the rotational energy after 5 seconds??

    Finding Rotational Energy and Acceleration of Decending Mass

    [b]1. A disk with radius of 0.3m and a mass of 4kg is free to rotate about an axle through its center. A cord wrapped around the circumference supports a weight with mass 5kg. a) What is the acceleration of descending mass if it is released? b) 5 seconds after release what is the...

    50 kg skater pushed 0.4m with 150N force, slides 80m before stopping

    I'm not quite sure how to find the velocity after the push off. And would our total distance be 79.6m (80-0.4)?

    50 kg skater pushed 0.4m with 150N force, slides 80m before stopping

    1. A 50 kg Skater pushes off horizontally for a distance of 0.4m with a force of 150N. If she travels 80m before stopping, what is the coefficient of friction? I am completely lost on this problem, can someone please assist me? Thanks.
