Estimate the length of the rough patch

Reference no: EM13492371

On an essentially frictionless horizontal ice-skating rink, a skater moving at 2.6 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 48 % to a friction force that is 20 % of her weight.

Use the work-energy principle to find the length of the rough patch.
