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 newly discovered planet has a mean radius of 7380 km. A vehicle on the planet\'s surface is moving in the same direction as th
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

292796435 seconds ≈ 300 million seconds

Explanation:

First of all, the speed of the car is 121km/h = 33.6111 m/s

The radius of the planet is given to be 7380 km = 7380000 m

From the relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity i.e., v=rw, the angular velocity of the car will be w=v/r = 33.6111/7380000 = 0.000000455 rad/s = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ rad/sec

If the angular velocity of the vehicle about the planet's center is 9.78 times as large as the angular velocity of the planet then we have

w(vehicle) = 9.78 x w(planet)

w(planet) = w(vehicle)/9.78 = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ / 9.78 = 4.66 x 10⁻⁷ rad/sec

To find the period of the planet's rotation; we use the equation

w(planet) = 2π÷T

Where w(planet) is the angular velocity of the planet and T is the period

From the equation T = 2π÷w = 2×(22/7) ÷  4.66 x 10⁻⁷ = 292796435 seconds

Therefore the period of the planet's motion is 292796435 seconds which is approximately 300, 000, 000 (300 million) seconds

How much energy has 4×10^10m^3 of water collected in a reservoir at a hight of 100 m from the power house ?What kind of energy i
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

PE = 3.92x10^16J

potential energy

Explanation:

PE = m*g*h

mass of water = 1000kg/m³

(4*10^10m³)*1000kg = 4*10^13kg

PE = (4*10^13kg)*(9.81m/s²)*(100m)

PE = 3.92x10^16J

Calculate the amount of heat needed to melt 35.0 g of ice at 0 ºC.Express your answer in kilojoules
PolarNik [594]
The amount of heat will be equal to Lm.

Where L is the latent heat of fusion and m is mass of the ice.

Latent heat of ice = 80cal/g.

So the amount of heat required here will be 35× 80cal

= 2,800 cal.
