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

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The current in the primary is 0.026 A

Explanation:

Using the formula

I1 = (V1/V2)*I2

we have

I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500

I1 = 0.026 A

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ
prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

          \nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})

                           = (30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))

                           = 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

          y = 200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

      \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

         \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}      

       \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}    

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.  

   \rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}

               = \frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}

              = 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

            a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}

                        = \frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}

                        = 0.1822 m/s^{2}

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

            a = \sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}

               = \sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}

              = 0.309 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is 0.309 m/s^{2}.

torisob [31]

Answer:

24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J

Explanation:

mass (m) = 544 kg

initial speed (u) = 6.75 m/s

final speed (v) = 15.2 m/s

change in height (Δh) = -14 m (negative sign is because there is a decrease in height )

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

How much work was done on the raft by non conservative forces?

work done = change in energy of the system = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy

work done = (0.5m(v^{2} -u^{2} )) + (mgΔh)

work done = (0.5x544x(15.2^{2} -6.75^{2} )) + (544 x 9.8 x (-14))

work done = 50449.76 - 74,636.8

work done = 24,187.04 J ≈ 24,200 J
