Catching a wave, a 77 kg surfer starts with a speed of 1.3 m/s, drops through a height of 1.65 m, and ends with a speed of 8.2 m/s. How much non-conservative work was done on the surfer?

Answer:

Explanation:

The total work done by the wave is expressed as;

Workdone = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

Workdone = mgh + 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 77kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

v is the velocity = 8.2m/s

h is the height = 1.65m

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = 77(9.8)(1.65) + 1/2(77)8.2²

Workdone = 1245.09 + 2588.74

Workdone = 3833.83Joules

Hence the amount of non conservative work done on the sofa is 3833.83Joules

The non-conservation work done will be "3833.83 Joules".

Given:

  • Velocity, v = 8.2 m/s
  • Height, h = 1.65 m
  • Mass, m = 77 kg

We know,

→ [tex]Work \ done = Potential \ energy +Kinetic \ energy[/tex]

or,

                     [tex]= mgh +\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

By putting the values,

                     [tex]= 77\times 9.8\times 1.65+\frac{1}{2}\times 77\times (8.2)^2[/tex]

                     [tex]= 1245.09+2588.74[/tex]

                     [tex]= 3833.83 \ Joules[/tex]

Thus the above approach is right.
