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

A bullet with a mass ????b=13.5mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity ????b=253vb=253 m/s. The block is attached to
Lorico [155]

Answer:

450 grams

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bullet, m = 13.5 g = 0.0135 kg

velocity of the bullet, v = 253 m/s

spring constant of the spring, k = 205 N/m

Compression of the spring, x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m

Now, the kinetic energy of the moving system (bullet + board) will tend to move the spring

thus,

let velocity of the system, V

now, applying the concept of conservation of momentum, we have

mv = (M + m)V

where,

M is the mass of the block

thus,

V = mv/(M + m)

now,

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)V²

or

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))²

Energy gained by the spring = (1/2)kx²

now,

equating both the energies, we get

(1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))² = (1/2)kx²

or

(mv)²/(m + M) = kx²

on substituting the values, we get

(0.0135 × 253)²/(0.0135 + M) = 205 × (0.35)²

or

11.66/(0.0135 + M) = 25.1125

or

M = 0.450 kg = 450 grams
