A luge and its rider, with a total mass of 85 kg, emerge from adownhill track onto a horizontal straight track with an initial speedof 37 m/s. if a force slows them to a stop at a constant rate of 2.0m/s2, (a) what magnitude f is required for the force, (b) what distanced do they travel while slowing, and (c) what work w is doneon them by the force? what are (d) f, (e) d, and (f) w if they, instead, slow at 4.0 m/s2?

    (1) Through the Second Law of motion, the equation for Force is:

    F = m x a

    Where m is mass and a is acceleration (deceleration)

    (2) Distance is calculated through the equation,

    D = Vi^2 / 2a

    Where Vi is initial velocity

    (3) Work is calculated through the equation,

    W = F x D

    Substituting the known values,

    Part A:

    (1) F = (85 kg) (2 m/s^2) = 170 N

    (2) D = (37 m/s) ^2 / (2) (2 m/s^2) = 9.25 m

    (3) W = (170 N) (9.25 m) = 1572.5 J

    Part B:

    (1) F = (85 kg) (4 m/s^2) = 340 N

    (2) D = (37 m/s) ^2 / (2) (4 m/s^2) = 4.625 m

    (3) W = (340 N) (4.625 m) = 1572.5 J
