Calculate the acceleration of a skier heading down a 10.0º slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet sno

w. (b) find the angle of the slope down which this skier could coast at a constant velocity. you can neglect air resistance in both parts, and you will find the result of exercise 5.9 to be useful. explicitly show how you follow the steps in the problem-solving strategies.

(a) 0.74 m/s^2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the skier: the component of the weight parallel to the slope, which acts downward, and the frictional force, which acts upward along the incline.

The component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane is:

W= m g sin \theta

where m is the mass of the skier, g=9.81 m/s^2 and \theta=10^{\circ}.

The frictional force is instead

F_f = -\mu m g cos \theta

\mu=0.1 is the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow.

If we apply Newton's second law, we can write that the net force must be equal to the product of mass per acceleration:

mgsin \theta -\mu mg cos \theta =ma

And symplifying m, we can find the acceleration:

a=g sin \theta-\mu g cos \theta=

=(9.81 m/s^2)(sin 10^{\circ})-(0.1)(9.81 m/s^2)(cos 10^{\circ})=0.74 m/s^2


(b) 5.7^{\circ}

Explanation:

This time, the skier is moving at constant velocity. Therefore, the acceleration is zero (a=0) and Newton's second law becomes:

mg sin \theta - \mu m g cos \theta=0

By simplifying, we get

tan \theta = \mu

From which we can find the angle at which the skier could coast at a constant velocity:

\theta= tan^{-1} (\mu) = tan^{-1} (0.1)=5.7^{\circ}

An astronaut stands on the surface of an asteroid. The astronaut then jumps such that the astronaut is no longer in contact with
Anna71 [15]

(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.

Reason :

All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

M = \frac{q}{p}

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m

Now using thin lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\

<u>f = 1 m</u>
