a skier is gliding along 3.0 m/s on horizontal, frictionless snow. he suddenly starts down a 10 degrees incline. his speed at th

e bottom is 15 m/s. what is the lenght of the incline? how long does it take him to reach the bottom?

... find length
(way 1) determine acceleration using force
only force act on skier is mg vertically. spilt vector we get force along the incline = mgsin(10) and f= ma so
ma = mgsin(10) or a = gsin(10)
a (along the incline)= gsin(10) = 10sin(10) = 1.74
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
15^2 = 3^2 + 2(1.74)s
s = 62.06 m

(way 2) using conservation of energy
energy (KE+PE) on top = energy at bottom
0.5m3^2 + mgh = 0.5m15^2 +0
h (height of incline) = (112.5 - 4.5)/10 = 19.8 m
length of incline = h/sin(10) = 62.2 m ; trigonometry

... find time
s = (u+v)t/2
t = 2s/(u+v) = 2(62.2)/(3+15) = 6.91 s

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

If an object has a high density then the molicules making up that object are closly packed togeather. Because of this, objects with a higher density will have more mass than objects of the same size that have a lesser density.

Why are the alkali metals likely to react with group 17 elements?
Rudiy27

Answer:

Because alkali metals are so reactive, they are found in nature only in combination with other elements. They often combine with group 17 elements, which are very “eager” to gain an electron.

A mass m0 is attached to a spring and hung vertically. The mass is raised a short distance in the vertical direction and release
iragen [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillations in terms of fo will be f2=fo/3

E xplanation:

T= 2pie\frac sqrt {m}{k}

 \frac {{f2}/times {fo}}=1:3

⇒f2=fo\3

Here frequency f is inversely poportional to square root of mass m.

so the value of remainder of frequency f2 and fo is equal to 1:3.

⇒\frac{f2} {f1} = \frac sqrt{m1}[m2}

⇒\frac{f2}{fo} = 1:3

⇒f2=\frac{fo} {3}

3. Identify three elements and three compounds. How are they<br> similar? How are they different?
Basile [38]

Answer:  A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
