The man will travel a distance of 8.7 m before coming to rest.
To solve this problem, we can use the equation for work done by a frictional force: W = F*d, where F is the frictional force and d is the distance traveled.
We can rearrange this equation to solve for d: d = W/F.
In this case, W = 45.0 N * 12.0 m = 540 Nm and F = 45.0 N.
Therefore, d = 540 Nm/45.0 N = 12.0 m.
Since the frictional force is the same underwater, the man will travel the same distance before coming to rest. Therefore, the man will travel a distance of 12.0 m before coming to rest.
A 76 kg man starts from rest at the top of a 12.0-m long water slide that is inclined 65° with the horizontal. In sliding down, he encountered a frictional force of 45.0 N. Suppose the man landed horizontally into the water, how far will he travel before coming to rest? Assume that the frictional force is the same underwater.
