Answer:
The kinetic energy is: 50[J]
Explanation:
The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore
PE = [J]
The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.
In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.
When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of
This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore
Ke= 50 [J]
Answer:
570 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram on the rider. There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.
The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.
Sum of the forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0
F = T cos 15° / cos 30°
Sum of the forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0
W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°
Substituting:
W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°
W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°
W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
Given T = 1900 N:
W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)
W = 570 N
The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).
