As a snowboarder descends a mountain slope, gravity, the normal force, and friction combine to exert a net force of 320 N in the downhill direction. The net force does 4700 J of work on her during one segment of her descent. If her path cuts across the face of the mountain at a 65 degree angle from the direction of the net force, over what distance does she travel.

34.75m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Net force, F = 320N

Work done by net force, W = 4700 N

Angle, θ = 65º

Work done at an angle is given as:

W = F * d * cosθ

Where d = distance travelled

θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.

Therefore,

4700 = 320 * d * cos65

=> d = 4700/(320 * cos65)

d = 34.75 m

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."

conservation of mass

mass before something happens = mass afterwards
