n a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (This is because the initial kinetic

energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy on even small hills.) To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 70.0 m along a 30â slope neglecting friction: (a) Starting from rest. (b) Starting with an initial speed of 2.50 m/s. (c) Does the answer surprise you? Discuss why it is still advantageous to get a running start in very competitive events.

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) starting from rest , so u = o and initial kinetic energy = 0 .

Let mass of the skier = m

Kinetic energy gained = potential energy lost

= mgh = mg l sinθ

= m x 9.8 x 70 x sin 30

= 343 m

Total kinetic energy at the base = 343 m  + 0 = 343 m .

b )

In this case initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x m x 2.5²

= 3.125 m

Total kinetic energy at the base

= 3.125 m  + 343 m

= 346.125 m

c ) It is not surprising as energy gained due to gravitational force by the earth is enormous . So component of energy gained due to gravitational force far exceeds the initial kinetic energy . Still in a competitive event , the fractional initial kinetic energy may be the deciding factor .

Tremendous energy is released by nuclear reactions is a measure of the energy required to bond the nucleus together. Where does
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fission is the opposite of fusion and releases energy only when heavy nuclei are split. As noted in Fusion, energy is released if the products of a nuclear reaction have a greater binding energy per nucleon than the parent nuclei.

The amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only 0.1 percent of the original nuclei is converted to energy. Daughter nucleus, energy, and particles such as neutrons are released as a result of the reaction
