To solve the two parts of this problem, we will begin by considering the expressions given for gravitational potential energy and finally kinetic energy (to find velocity). From the potential energy we will obtain its derivative that is equivalent to the Force of gravitational attraction. We will start considering that all the points on the ring are same distance:

r = \sqrt{x^2+R^2}

Then the potential energy is

U = \frac{-GMm}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}}

PART A) The force is excepted to be along x-axis.

Therefore we take a derivative of U with respect to x.

F = -\frac{dU}{dx}

F = -\frac{d}{dx}(GMm(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}}))

F = \frac{GMmx}{(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}

This expression is the resultant magnitude of the Force F.

PART B) The magnitude of loss in potential energy as the particle falls to the center

U = GMm(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}})

According to conservation of energy,

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = GMm (\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}})

\therefore v = \sqrt{2GM(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{x^2+R^2})}

A 65 Kg skier starts at rest at the top of a 150 m long hill that has an incline of 28 degrees. How fast will she be going at th
yan [13]

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

Potential energy at top = kinetic energy at bottom + work done by friction

PE = KE + W

mgh = ½ mv² + Fd

mg (d sin θ) = ½ mv² + Fd

Solving for v:

½ mv² = mg (d sin θ) − Fd

mv² = 2mg (d sin θ) − 2Fd

v² = 2g (d sin θ) − 2Fd/m

v = √(2g (d sin θ) − 2Fd/m)

Given g = 9.8 m/s², d = 150 m, θ = 28°, F = 50 N, and m = 65 kg:

v = √(2 (9.8 m/s²) (150 m sin 28°) − 2 (50 N) (150 m) / (65 kg))

v = 33.9 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, her velocity at the bottom of the hill is 34 m/s.
