A 62 kg skier is moving at 6.5 m/s on frictionless horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long

. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.30. After crossing the rough patch and returning to friction free snow, she skis down an icy frictionless hell 2.5 m high. A) How much work is done by friction in crossing the patch? B) How fast is the skier moving when she gets the bottom of the hill? [Hint: B) use the conservation of total

Answer:

(A). The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B). The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of skier = 62 kg

Speed = 6.5 m/s

Length = 3.50 m

Coefficient kinetic friction = 0.30

Height = 2.5 m

(A) we need to calculate the work done by friction in crossing the patch

Using formula of work done

$W=-\mu mg\times l$

Put the value into the formula

$W=-0.30\times62\times9.8\times3.50$

$W=-637.98\ J$

The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B) we need to calculate the speed of skier

Using conservation of energy

$K.E_{i}+U_{i}-W_{friction}=K.E_{f}+U_{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+mgh-\mu mgl=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2+U_{f}$

Final potential energy is zero

So, $\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+mgh-\mu mgl=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v_{2}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{1}^2+gh-\mu gl$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}v_{2}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times6.5^2+9.8\times2.5+0.30\times9.8\times3.50$

$v_{2}=\sqrt{2\times55.915}$

$v_{2}=10.57\ m/s$

The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

Hence, (A).The work done by friction in crossing the patch is -637.98 J.

(B).The speed of skier is 10.57 m/s.

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit

tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch

Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: $-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C$

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: $-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C$

Explanation:

a)

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

$\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius $r$ as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

$q=0$

So we have

$\int E dS=0$

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

b)

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

$r=R=0.065 m$

The area of the surface is

$A=4\pi R^2$

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

$E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

$q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

So, the electric field is:

$E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C$

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

c)

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

$r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m$

Gauss theorem this time becomes

$E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

$q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C$

How does the size of arctic foxes ears help to keep them warm in a cold environment

DochEvi [55]

artic foxes have thick white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow they have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears so that they can hear better they also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet this stops the paws from getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow in the summer the artic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when people are hunting in the long grass
