To solve part (a), calculate the work performed by the kinetic frictional force acting on the skis.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2[/katex] | Calculate the initial kinetic energy (KE) using the mass [katex] m = 58 \, \text{kg} [/katex] and the initial velocity [katex] v_i = 7.2 \, \text{m/s} [/katex]. |
| 2 | [katex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 58 \times (7.2)^2 = 1503.36 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute the values into the kinetic energy formula. |
| 3 | [katex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2[/katex] | Calculate the final kinetic energy using the final velocity [katex] v_f = 3.8 \, \text{m/s} [/katex]. |
| 4 | [katex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2} \times 58 \times (3.8)^2 = 418.76 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute the values into the kinetic energy formula. |
| 5 | [katex]W_{\text{gravity}} = mgh [/katex] | Calculate the work done by gravity, where [katex] h = d \sin(\theta) [/katex] is the height gained climbing the incline. [katex] d = 2.3 \, \text{m} [/katex] and [katex] \theta = 28^\circ [/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]h = 2.3 \sin(28^\circ) = 1.08 \, \text{m}[/katex] | Calculate the vertical height climbed using [katex] \sin(28^\circ) \approx 0.4695 [/katex]. |
| 7 | [katex]W_{\text{gravity}} = 58 \times 9.8 \times 1.080 = 614 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute [katex] g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 [/katex]. |
| 8 | [katex] KE_i = KE_f + W_f + PE [/katex] | Place all energy transformation into a single conservation of energy equation: The initial kinetic energy transforms into the final kinetic energy, work done by friction, and the potential energy of the skier. |
| 9 | [katex]W_f = 1503.36 \, – \, 418.76 \, – \, 614 [/katex] | Plug in all values and solve for work done by friction [katex] W_f [/katex]. |
| 10 | [katex] W_f = 470.6 \, \text{J}[/katex] | The negative sign indicates that the work done by friction is in the direction opposite to the motion. |
To solve part (b), determine the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]W = f_k \times d \times \cos(\theta)[/katex] | Work done by a force [katex] f_k [/katex] over a distance [katex] d [/katex], where [katex] \theta [/katex] is the angle between the force and the displacement (which in the case of friction, is [katex]180^\circ[/katex]). |
| 2 | [katex] 470.6 = -f_k \times 2.3 \times \cos(180^\circ)[/katex] | Substitute the work calculated from part (a) and the distance [katex]2.3 \, \text{m}[/katex]. [katex] \cos(180^\circ) = -1 [/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex] -470.6 = f_k \times 2.3[/katex] | Simplify the equation. |
| 4 | [katex]f_k = \frac{-470.6}{2.3}[/katex] | Solve for [katex]f_k[/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]f_k = -204.6 \, \text{N}[/katex] | The magnitude of the kinetic frictional force. |

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
