Answer:

260 N

Explanation:

The acceleration of the skier is gotten by using an equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2as

where <em>u</em> and <em>v</em> are the initial and final velocities, <em>a</em> is the acceleration and <em>s</em> is the distance.

a = \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s} = \dfrac{12^2-0^2}{2\times25} = 2.88 \text{ m/s}^2

The force on the slider is then

F = ma

F = 92\times2.88 = 264.96 \text{ N} = 260 \text{ N}

Answer:

264.96 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass and the acceleration of a body.

From the question,

F = ma.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the water skier, a = acceleration of the water skier.From Newton's equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 2

Where v and u = final and initial velocity respectively, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Given: v = 12 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest), s = 25 m

Substitute into equation 2

12² = 0²+2(25)(a)

144 = 50a

a = 144/50

a = 2.88 m/s².

Also given: m = 92 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 92(2.88)

F = 264.96 N.

Answer:

3.41 s

114 m

Explanation:

The object is falling in free fall, accelerated by the surface gravity of Earth. We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We set up a frame of reference with the origin at the point the object was released and the X axis pointing down. Then X0 = 0. Since the problem doesnt mention an initial speed we assume V0 = 0.

It travels 0.5h in the last 1 second of the fall. This means it also traveled in the rest of the time of the fall. t = t1 is the moment when it traveled 0.5*h.

0.5*h = 1/2 * a * t1^2

h = a * t1^2

It travels 0.5*h in 1 second.

h = X(t1 + 1) = 1/2 * a * (t1+1)^2

Equating both equations:

a * t1^2 = 1/2 * a * (t1+1)^2

We simplify a and expand the square

t1^2 = 1/2 * (t1^2 + 2*t1 + 1)

t1^2 - 1/2 * t1^2 - t1 - 1/2 = 0

1/2 * t1^2 - t1 - 1/2 = 0

Solving electronically:

t1 = 2.41 s

total time = t1 + 1 = 3.41.

Now

h = a * t1^2

h = 9.81 * 3.41^2 = 114 m
