Sam, whose mass is 75 kg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 N and a coefficien

t of kinetic friction on snow of 0.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 15 s .
A: What is Sam's top speed?

- I found the answer to be 17 m/s (can you check this for me?)
B: How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop? (I have no idea for this one)

Answer:

top speed = 17.25

Total height = 281.19 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 75 kg

thrust = 160 N

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.1

solution

we get here frictional force acting that is

frictional force = \mu *m*g   .............1

frictional force = 0.1 × 75 × 9.8

frictional force = 73.5 N

and

Net force acting will be F = 160 - 73.5  N

F = 86.5 N

so

Acceleration in the First 15 second  will be

F = ma .........2

86.5 = 75 × a

a = 1.15 m/s²

and

now After 15 second the velocity will be  as

v = u + at   ..........3

here u is 0

so v will be

V = 1.15 × 15

v = 17.25

and

now we get travels distance S  in 15 s

s = u × t + 0.5 × a × t²  

here u is 0

so distance s will be

s = 0.5 × a × t²  

s = 0.5 ×  1.15 × 15²  

s = 129.37 m

and

now  acceleration acting is

F =  \mu *m*g  

m a =  \mu *m*g

a = \mu* g

a = - 0.98

here it is negative it mean downward nature of acceleration

and

now we get distance s by this formula

V² - u² = 2 a s    

here v velocity is 0  and

u initial velocity is 17.25 m/s

put here value

0 - 17.25² = 2 × (-0.98) × s    

solve it we get

s = 151.82 m

so

Total height is

Total height = 129.37 m + 151.82 m

Total height = 281.19 m

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________. The trajectory of a projectile always ________________. is a straight li
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

curves downward, below the initial velocity vector.

Explanation:

Projectile launches are generally divided into two types: the oblique throw and the free fall. The free fall of bodies consists of throwing or abandoning projectiles from a hill or any unevenness that has a height in relation to a frame (usually the ground), while the oblique launch consists of launching a projectile at an angle. any relative to a frame (usually the ground).

Regardless of the type, when reading the paragraph above, we can say that the trajectory of a projectile will always be curved down and below the initial velocity vector.

What is the net force of an object with a mass of 90.0 and accelerating at 3.0 m/s
Ksivusya [100]

The net force is 270 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

m = 90.0 kg

a=3.0 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the net force on the object:

F=(90.0)(3.0)=270 N

Can someone help me?!!!!!
ladessa [460]

Answer:

magnitude: 21.6; direction: 33.7 degrees

Explanation:

When we multiply a vector by a scalar, we have to multiply each component of the vector by the scalar number. In this case, we have

vector: (-3,-2)

Scalar: -6

so the vector multiplied by the scalar will have components

(-3\cdot (-6), -2 \cdot (-6))=(18,12)

The magnitude is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

m=\sqrt{18^2+12^2}=21.6

and the direction is given by the arctan of the ratio between the y-component and the x-component:

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12}{18})=33.7^{\circ}
