Chapter 1, Problem 46GP
Problems 39 through 45 are motion problems similar to those you will learn to solve in Chapter 2. For now, simply interpret the problem by drawing a motion diagram showing the object's position and its velocity vectors. Do not solve these problems or do any mathematics.
42. A speed skater moving 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?
