Answer:
v = 21.03 m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of skier = 45 kg
the slope of the snow = 10.0◦
coefficient of friction = 0.114
distance traveled = 300 m
speed = ?
Acceleration = g sin θ - µ g Cos θ
= 9.8 × Sin (10°) - 0.10 × 9.8 × Cos(10°)
= 0.737 m/s²
using equation of motion
v² = u² + 2 a s
v² = 0 + 2 × 0.737 × 300
v = 21.03 m/s
Speed of skier's after travelling 300 m speed is equal to 21.03 m/s
What are the "observations above" in this question?
Answer:
Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies in a system. The principle of the conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy in a system remains constant as long as the only forces acting are conservative forces.
Explanation:
From the Pythagorean theorem, we have

Simplifying both sides gives

But we're talking about lengths, which can't be negative, so <em>x</em> = 2.
