A new ski area has opened that emphasizes the extreme nature of the skiing possible on its slopes. Suppose an ad intones "Free-f

all skydiving is the greatest rush you can experience . . . but we’ll take you as close as you can get on land. When you tip your skis down the slope of our steepest runs, you can accelerate at up to 75% of the acceleration you’d experience in free fall." What angle slope could give such an acceleration?

Answer:

48.6°

Explanation:

The forward force, F equals the component of the weight along the slope.

So mgsinθ = ma where a = acceleration and θ = angle between the slope and the horizontal.

So a = gsinθ

Since we are given that a = 75%g = 0.75g,

0.75g = gsinθ

sinθ = 0.75

θ = sin⁻¹(0.75)

= 48.6°

A child bounces a 60 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 22 m/s downward to 15 m/s upward.
fgiga [73]

complete question:

A child bounces a 60 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 22 m/s downward to 15 m/s upward. If the contact time with the sidewalk is 1/800 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the superball by the sidewalk

Answer:

F = 1776  N

Explanation:

mass of ball = 60 g = 0.06 kg

velocity of downward direction = 22 m/s = v1

velocity of upward direction = 15 m/s = v2

Δt = 1/800 = 0.00125 s

Linear momentum of a particle with mass and velocity is the product of the mass and it velocity.

p = mv

When a particle move freely and interact with another system within a period of time and again move freely like in this scenario it has a definite change in momentum. This change is defined as Impulse .

I = pf − pi = ∆p

F =  ∆p/∆t  =  I/∆t

let the upward velocity be the positive

Δp =  mv2 - m(-v1)

Δp =  mv2 - m(-v1)

Δp = m (v2 + v1)

Δp = 0.06( 15 + 22)

Δp = 0.06(37)

Δp = 2.22 kg m/s

∆t  = 0.00125

F =  ∆p/∆t

F =  2.22/0.00125

F = 1776  N

Two identical stones, A and B, are thrown from a cliff from the same height and with the same initial speed. Stone A is thrown v
Taya2010 [7]

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.
