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

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg

Mass of the truck, m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial velocity of the car, u_1=22\ m/s

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2    

v_2=15.7\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).
