<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Kilogram

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Mass is the quantity of matter in an object or a body. Mass is measured using units such as milligrams, grams, kilograms, etc. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Choosing an appropriate unit is key so as other units may either give very small or very large number value and thus making it difficult to estimate the magnitude of the quantity if inappropriate units are used.</u></em>
  • The most appropriate units to measure the mass of a person would therefore be kilograms.

The 60.0 kg skier shown below is skiing down a 35.0 degree incline where the magnitude of the friction force is 38.5N
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 4.98m/s²

b) 481.66N

Explanation:

a) Using the Newtons second law of motion

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\Wsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting along the plane

Ff is the frictional force opposing the moving froce

a is the acceleration of the skier

Given

m = 60kg

g = 9.8m/s²

\theta = 35°

Ff = 38.5N

Required

acceleration of the skier a

Substituting into the formula;

60(9.8)sin 35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\588sin35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\337.26 - 38.5 = 60a\\298.76 = 60a\\a = 298.76/60\\a = 4.98m/s^2\\

Hence the acceleration of the skier is 4.98m/s²

b) The normal force on the skier is expressed as;

N = Wcosθ

N = mgcosθ

N = 60(9.8)cos 35°

N = 588cos 35°

N = 481.66N

Hence the normal force on the skier is 481.66N

5. In 1947 Bob Feller, a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, threw a baseball across the
Darina [25.2K]

The maximum height reached by the ball is 99.2 m

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown straight up, it follows a free fall motion, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground). Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

In this problem, we have:

u = 44.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity when the ball reaches the maximum height

s is the maximum height

a=-g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward, so negative)

Solving for s, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:

s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}=-\frac{44.1^2}{2(-9.8)}=99.2 m
