A ski starts from rest and slides down a 22 incline 75 m long. if the coefficient of friction is 0.090, what is the ski's speed

at the base of the incline?
Physics

L = length of the incline = 75 m

θ = angle of incline = 22 deg

h = height of skier at the top of incline = L Sinθ = (75) Sin22 = 28.1 m

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.090

N = normal force by the surface of incline

mg Cosθ = Component of weight of skier normal to the surface of incline opposite to normal force N

normal force "N" balances the component of weight opposite to it hence we get

N = mg Cosθ

frictional force acting on the skier is given as

f = μN

f = μmg Cosθ

v = speed of skier at the bottom of incline

Using conservation of energy

potential energy at the top of incline = kinetic energy at the bottom + work done by frictional force

mgh = f L + (0.5) m v²

mgh = μmg Cosθ L + (0.5) m v²

gh = μg Cosθ L + (0.5) v²

(9.8 x 28.1) = (0.09 x 9.8 x 75) Cos22 + (0.5) v²

v = 20.7 m/s

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

A 0.10-kg ball, traveling horizontally at 25 m/s, strikes a wall and rebounds at 19 m/s. What is the 7) magnitude of the change
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Change in momentum will be -4.4 kgm/sec

So option (A) is correct option

Explanation:

Mass of the ball is given m = 0.10 kg

Initial velocity of ball v_1=25m/sec

And velocity after rebound v_2=-19m/sec

We have to find the change in momentum

So change in momentum is equal to =m(v_2-v_1)=0.1\times (-19-25)=-4.4kgm/sec ( here negative sign shows only direction )

So option (A) will be correct answer

Restate newtons first law of motion​
andriy [413]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object that is resting (not moving) will stay motionless unless an external force acts on it and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts on it. This law is known as newton's law of inertia.
