Answer:
the work done by the net external force acting on the skier is 3046.12 J.
Explanation:
Given;
initial speed of the water skier, u = 6.3 m/s
final speed of the water skier, v = 10.9 m/s
mass of the water skier, m = 77 kg
The work done by the net external force is calculated as;
W = ΔK.E
[tex]W = \frac{1}{2} m(v^2 - u^2)\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} \times \ 77.0(10.9^2 - 6.3^2)\\\\ W= 3046.12 \ J[/tex]
Therefore, the work done by the net external force acting on the skier is 3046.12 J.
