An object, which is initially at rest, accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s2 . Its final position is 85 m from its initial position a

t the end of that acceleration. For how much time did it accelerate?

Answer:

4.12 seconds

Explanation:

From the kinetic equation

s=ut+0.5at^{2} where s is the displacement, u is initial velocity, t is time of travel and a is acceleration.

Since the object is initially at rest, the initial velocity is zero hence the equation can be re-written as

s=0.5at^{2} and making t the subject of the formula

t=\sqrt {\frac {2s}{a}}

Substituting s for 85 m and a for 10 m/s2

t=\sqrt {\frac {2*85 m}{10}}=4.123105626 s

Therefore, time is approximately 4.12 seconds

A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the
ehidna [41]

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is m=82.9\ kg

Height of the inclination is h=20\ m

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.
