In an exciting game, a baseball player manages to safely slide into second base. The mass of the baseball player is 88.9 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the player is 0.53. (a) Find the magnitude of the frictional force in newtons. N (b) It takes the player 1.7 s to come to rest. What was his initial velocity (in m/s)

Answer:

Look at explanation

Explanation:

a) Kinetic Friction= μmg

μmg=0.53*88.9*9.8=461.75N

b)  -461.75N=ma

a= -5.19m/s^2

v=v0+at

5.19*1.7=v0

v0=8.81m/s^2

(a) The magnitude of the frictional force will be 461.75N

(b)The initial velocity will be 8.81 m/s.

What is kinetic friction?

A force that acts among sliding parts is referred to as kinetic friction. A body moving on the surface is subjected to a force that opposes its progressive motion

The size of the force will be determined by the kinetic friction coefficient between the two materials.

The given data in the problem is;

μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.53.

m is the mass = 88.9 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity= 9.81 m/s²

v is the speed =?

The formula for friction force is;

[tex]\rm F= \mu R \\\\ R=mg \\\\ F= \mu mg \\\\\ F=0.53 \times 88.9 \times 9.81 \\\\ F= 461.75 \ N[/tex]

Mechanical force is found as;

F=ma

-461.75=(88.9)a

(-ve shows the -ve work done)

a=-5.19 m/s

From the Newton's first equation of motion;

v=u+at

0=u+at

u=-at

u=(- (-5.19)(1.7)

u=8.81 m/s²
