An 80 kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at a constant velocity while pushing with his poles

. What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?
Physics

From Newton's First law, if velocity is constant than the net force on the body is zero; or net force in horizontal direction is zero and net force in vertical direction is also zero.

If we assume that the there is negligible friction between waxed skies and snow, than there will be no frictional force on skies in horizontal direction and as net force in horizontal direction is zero, hence the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward is also zero.

A ball, which has a mass of 1.25 kg, is thrown straight up from the top of a building 225 meters tall with a velocity of 52.0 m/
Elena-2011 [213]

First we will find the speed of the ball just before it will hit the floor

so in order to find the speed of the cart we will first use energy conservation

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + 0

\frac{1}{2}(1.25)(52)^2 + 1.25(9.8)(225) = \frac{1}{2}(1.25)v_f^2

So by solving above equation we will have

v_f = 84.3 m/s

now in order to find the momentum we can use

P = mv

P = 1.25 \times 84.3

P = 105.4 kg m/s

A ball initially at rest rolls down a hill with an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2. If it accelerates for 7.5 s, how far will it move?
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 3.3 m/s^2, we need to calculate displacement when time = 7.5 seconds.

Substituting

  s=0*7.5+\frac{1}{2} *3.3*7.5^2\\ \\ =92.8125 meter

  So ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.
