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

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they
Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

A box is pushed horizontally with constant speed across a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following must be true?
Pavel [41]
D

Because if an object is moving at a constant speed the force of friction must equal the applied (horizontal) force, and for it to be accelerating or decelerating, the force of friction and the applied force must be unequal

Sonar is a device that uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths. If a sonar signal has a frequency of 288 Hz and
mart [117]

Answer:

5.03 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

For the sonar signal in this problem,

f=288 Hz

v=1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{1.45\cdot 10^3 m/s}{288 Hz}=5.03 m

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).
