The potential energy of the skier at the top is
60 kg (9.81 m/s2) (10 m) = 5886 J

Her kinetic energy at the bottom is
(1/2) (60 kg) (10 m/s)^2 = 3000 J

The energy lost to friction is
5886 J - 3000 J = 2886 J

A boat moves with a speed of +2.5 m/s in a direction 25° north of east. If the mass of the boat is 15,000 kg, what is the moment
nadya68 [22]
Momentum - mass in motion
P=MV
P=(15,000 kg)(2.5 m/s)
P=37 500 kg x m/s to the north

Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left 
Sum moments about the pivot to zero. 
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0 
by iterative answer we discover that 
θ ≈ 0.465 radians 
θ ≈ 26.6º

the distance between two points P and Q is 120 m a object goes from point P to q and then returned to P in 1 minute 40 second wh
Naily [24]

Answer:

using a formula

average velocity=total displacement/total time

average velocity=120/1minute40sec

1minute=60sec

60sec+40sec=120sec

average velocity=120m/120sec

average velocity=1m/sec

Can I get help and an explanation on C?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1.67 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = final momentum

(30 kg) (10 m/s) + (35 kg) (-10 m/s) = (30 kg) v + (35 kg) (0 m/s)

300 - 350 = 30v

v = -5/3 m/s

Linus will move at 1.67 m/s in the direction opposite that he started.
