The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and v=15.5 m/s is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is 
U=mgh
where g=9.81 m/s^2 and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
U=K
and so
mgh =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find the height:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c
grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg              

Force applied by the motor, F_A=1000\ N

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, \mu=0.5

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

F_A-\mu mg=ma

\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a

a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}

a=-3.905\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -3.905\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following is a nonferromagnetic material? (a) aluminum (b) iron (c) cobalt (d) gadolinium
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.
