a skier speeds along a flat patch of snow, and then flies horizontally off the edge at 16.0 m/s. He eventually lands on a straig
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

1.63 s

Explanation:

The skier lands on the sloped section when the direction of its velocity is exactly identical to that of the slope, so at 45.0^{\circ} below the horizontal.

This occurs when the magnitude of the vertical velocity is equal to the horizontal velocity (in fact, \tan \theta =\frac{|v_y|}{v_x}, and since \theta=45.0^{\circ}, tan \theta = 1 and so |v_y| = v_x.

We already know the horizontal velocity of the skier:

v_x = 16.0 m/s

And this is constant during the entire motion.

The vertical velocity instead is given by

v_y = u_y + gt

where

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the skier flies off horizontally)

g = 9.8 m/s^2

t is the time

Here we have chosen the downward direction as positive direction.

Substituting v_y = 16.0 m/s, we find the time:

t=\frac{v_y}{g}=\frac{16.0}{9.8}=1.63 s

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

V

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s
