It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:
where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get
50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h
h = 10.20 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law relates the net force <em>F</em> on an object of mass <em>m </em>with the acceleration <em>a</em> it experiments by <em>F=ma.</em> In our case the net force is the friction force, since it's the only one the skier is experimenting horizontally and the vertical ones cancel out since he's not moving in that direction. Our acceleration then will be:
Also, acceleration is defined by the change of velocity in a given time t, so we have:
Since we want the change in velocity, <em>mixing both equations</em> we conclude that:
Which for our values means:
