Answer:
Final velocity v = 8.944 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given distance S = 40 meters
Time t = 10 sec
As it starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0
From second equation of motion 
Now from first equation of motion 
, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time
So 
... 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
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
This can be explained based on the conservation of energy.
The total mechanical energy of the system remain constant in the absence of any external force. Also, the total mechanical energy of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy associated with the system.
In case of two stones thrown from a cliff one vertically downwards the other vertically upwards, the overall gravitational potential energy remain same for the two stones as the displacement of the stones is same.
Therefore the kinetic energy and hence the speed of the two stones should also be same in order for the mechanical energy to remain conserved.
This process shows alpha decay so X represents an alpha particle. The characteristic of alpha decay is that the mass number stays constant while the proton number increases.
A, hope this helped! I didn’t really get it but I think it’s correct?
