An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0 with the horizontal. The coeffici

ent of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 10.4 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.50 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands?

Answer:

V = 10.88 m/s

Explanation:

V_i =initial velocity = 0m/s

a= acceleration= gsinθ- $\mu_k$ cosθ

putting values we get

a= 9.8sin25-0.2cos25= 2.4 m/s^2

v_f= final velocity and d= displacement along the inclined plane = 10.4 m

using the equation

$v^2_f=v^2_i-2as$

$v^2_f=0^2-2(2.4)(10.4)$

v_f= 7.04 m/s

let the speed just before she lands be "V"

using conservation of energy

KE + PE at the edge of cliff = KE at bottom of cliff

(0.5) m V_f^2 + mgh = (0.5) m V^2

V^2 = V_f^2 + 2gh

V^2 = 7.04^2 + 2 x 9.8 x 3.5

V = 10.88 m/s

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

Answer:

The speed is $v = 350 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m

The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m

The change in the distance of the speaker is by $k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m$

The frequency of both speakers is $f = 700 \ Hz$

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

$L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = 5.39 \ m$

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is

$L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}$

$L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}$

$L_2 = 5.64 \ m$

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

$pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}$

Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=> $5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}$

=> $v = 350 \ m/s$

A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a

Zolol [24]

Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

$i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}} \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10} \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm$

The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

$R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}$

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.
