A snowboarder glides down a 48-m-long, 15° hill. She then glides horizontally for 10 m before reaching a 30° upward slope. Assum

e the snow is frictionless. What is her velocity at the bottom of the hill?
How far can she travel up the 30° slope?

Answer:

Her velocity at the bottom of the hill is 15.61m/s and she travel up the 30° slope 24.85m

Explanation:

For simplicity purpose, we can analyze the section of the snowboarder's travel in the hill, in the horizontal surface and in the slope separately.

In the hill, we will say that the x-axis is parallel to the hill, and y-axis is perpendicular. Using geometry, we can see that the angle of the snowboarder's weight force from the y-axis is 15°. The velocity of the snowboarder will increase in the direction parallel to the hill, in a constant acceleration motion:

F_x: W_x = ma\\W*sin(15) = ma\\mg*sin(15) = ma\\a = g*sin(15) = 9.81m/s^2 * sin(15) = 2.54m/s^2

With the acceleration, we can use the equations for constant acceleration motion:

v_f^2 - v_o^2 = 2a*d\\v_f^2 - (0m/s)^2=2*2.54m/s^2*48m\\vf = \sqrt{2*2.54m/s^2*48m}=15.61 m/s

This would be her velocity at the bottom of the hill.

As there is no friction, she would reach the bottom of the slope with this velocity.

In the slope, the line of reasoning is similar as in the hill, with the difference that the acceleration will oppose velocity.

F_x: -W_x = ma\\-W*sin(30) = ma\\-mg*sin(30) = ma\\a = -g*sin(30) = -9.81m/s^2 * sin(30) = -4.905m/s^2

v_f^2-v_o^2=2a*d\\d=\frac{(v_f^2-v_o^2)}{2a}=\frac{((0m/s)^2-(15.61m/s)^2)}{2(-4.905m/s^2)} = 24.85m

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.
