We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
where
is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
where
is the final speed of the sled
is the initial speed
is the distance covered
By rearranging the equation, we find d:
where
Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
where
By rearranging the equation, we find d:
Answer:
∆h = 0.071 m
Explanation:
I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)
First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :
Vy(t) and y(t)
We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''
Vy in this problem will follow this equation =
where g is the gravity acceleration
This is equation (1)
For Y(t) :
We suppose yi = 0
This is equation (2)
We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)
So in t = 0.675 s → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)
2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)
Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s
The height asked is
∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m
