A speed skater moving to the left across frictionless ice at 8.0 m/s hits a 5.0-m-wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continues on at 6.0 m/s. What is her acceleration on the rough ice?

Acceleration,

Explanation:

It is given that,

The initial speed of a speed skater, u = 8 m/s

The final speed of a speed skater, v = 6 m/s

Width of patch of rough ice, s = 5 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. Acceleration can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

So, the acceleration on the rough ice is . Negative sign shows that its speed is decreased.

i. like it i'm gonna edit it tomorrow

d) physical means can be used to separate the components of air.
