A man with a mass of 65.0 kg skis down a frictionless hill that is 5.00 m high. At the bottom of the hill the terrain levels out

. As the man reaches the horizontal section, he grabs a 20.0-kg backpack and skis off a 2.00-m-high ledge. At what horizontal distance from the edge of the ledge does the man land (the man starts at rest)?

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 4.823 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of man, m = 65.0 kg

Height of the hill, H = 5.00 m

Mass of the backpack, m' = 20.0 kg

Height of ledge, h = 2 m

Now,

To calculate the horizontal distance from the edge of the ledge:

Making use of the principle of conservation of energy both at the top and bottom of the hill (frictionless), the total mechanical energy will remain conserved.

Now,

KE_{initial} + PE_{initial} = KE_{final} + PE_{final}

where

KE = Kinetic energy

PE = Potential energy

Initially, the man starts, form rest thus the velocity at start will be zero and hence the initial Kinetic energy will also be zero.

Also, the initial potential energy will be converted into the kinetic energy thus the final potential energy will be zero.

Therefore,

0 + mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + 0

2gH = v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5} = 9.89\ m/s

where

v = velocity at the hill's bottom

Now,

Making use of the principle of conservation of momentum in order to calculate the velocity after the inclusion, v' of the backpack:

mv = (m + m')v'

65.0\times 9.89 = (65.0 + 20.0)v'

v' = 7.56\ m/s

Now, time taken for the fall:

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{9.8} = 0.638\ s

Now, the horizontal distance is given by:

x = v't = 7.56\times 0.638 = 4.823\ m

Answer

given,

mass of the man = 65 kg

height = 5 m

mass of the back pack = 20 kg

skis off to 2.00 m high ledge

horizontal distance =

speed of the person before they grab back pack is equal to potential and kinetic energy

mgh= \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 5}

v = 9.89 m/s

now he perform elastic collision

v = \dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_1+m_2}

v = \dfrac{65\times 9.89}{65+20}

v = 7.57 m/s

time taken by the skies to fall is

h = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 2}{9.8}}

t = 0.6388 s

distance

d = v x t

d = 7.57 x 0.6388

d = 4.84 m

A car has an acceleration of -5 m/s^2. Describe the car’s motion
AlladinOne [14]

Explanation:

because the acceleration is negative, this indicates a deceleration (or slowing down) . Hence we can say that:

The car is decelerating (slowing down), i.e its velocity is decreasing, at a constant rate of 5m/s².

If Shirley pushes one end of a desk to the right with a force of 12.0N and anfernee pushes the desk at the same time to the left
Marianna [84]
The net force does not depend on the mass.

We have 12N to the right, and 19N to the left.
The net force is (19.0-12.0)N=7.0N to the left.
