Consider the 65.0 kg ice skater being pushed by two others shown in the figure.
F₁
F₂
Ftot
F₁
F₂
Free-body diagram
F₂
x m/s² (in the direction of Ftot)
F₁
(a) Find the direction (in degrees) and magnitude (in N) of Ftot the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F, and F, are 28.0 N and 17.0 N, respectively.
✓ (counterclockwise from the direction of F₁ is positive)
1
direction
31.26
32.76
magnitude
✔ N
(b) What is her initial acceleration (in m/s2) if she is initially stationary and wearing steel-bladed skates that point in the direction of Ftot? (Assume the value of #, for steel on ice is 0.04.)
0.112
(c) What is her acceleration (in m/s2) assuming she is already moving in the direction of Fot? Remember that friction is always in the opposite direction of motion or attempted motion between surfaces in
contact.
