The final kinetic energy of the skateboarder after she freewheels and did work against friction on the flat section of the path is 4,600 J.
Conservation of energy
The final kinetic energy of the stakeboarder is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;
ΔK.E = -W
K.Ef - K.Ei = -W
where;
- K.Ef is the final kinetic energy
- K.Ei is the initial kinetic energy
- W is work done
K.Ef = K.Ei - W
K.Ef = 5,000 J - 400 J
K.Ef = 4,600 J
Thus, the final kinetic energy of the skateboarder is 4,600 J.
