420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.
Explanation:
As from the picture, it can be seen that first the skier moved from position A to position B. And the distance covered by this movement is 180 m. Then as the skier travels from position B to position C, the distance between these two positions is 140 m from the figure. As distance is a scalar quantity, the direction is not taken into consideration. So only the magnitudes of the distance between those points are added.
Now, the distance between A to B is 180 m and then from B to C is 140 m, atlast from C to D, the distance is given as 100 m.
So, the total distance will be the sum of all the above found distances. Thus, the total distance will be 180+140+100 = 420 m.
As the question is about distance, so no need to write the direction for it.
Thus, the final answer will be 420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg
Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters
Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy
At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules
At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec
Try looking at it like this and I'll bet you'll get it:
You're running through the boxcar on the train at 112 meters per second, but you notice that you're moving along the tracks at 210 meters per second. What must be the speed of the train along the tracks ?
