Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
mass = 64 kg
speed = 3.2 m/s
coefficient of friction [tex]\mu =[/tex] 0.70
The mechanical energy touted relates to the loss of energy in the system as a result of friction and this can be computed as:
[tex]W = \Delta K.E[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2 -u^2)[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{1}{2}(64.0 \kg) (0 - (3.2 \ m/s^2))[/tex]
Thus, the mechanical energy touted = 327.68 J
According to the formula used in calculating the frictional force
[tex]F_r = \mu mg[/tex]
= 0.70 × 64 kg× 9.8 m/s²
= 439.04 N
The distance covered now can be determined as follows:
d = W/F
d = 327.68 J/ 439.04 N
d = 0.746 m
