A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?

This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped = 84m

Displacement = 84m due east

Time = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo = ?

Velocity of kangaroo = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time }$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$ = $\frac{84}{7}$ = 12m/s due east

In the aerials competition in skiing, the competitors speed down a ramp that slopes sharply upward at the end. The sharp upward

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

u = 11.6 m/s

Explanation:

The end of a launch ramp is directed 63° above the horizontal. A skier attains a height of 10.9 m above the end of the ramp.

Maximum height, H = 10.9

Let v is the launch speed of the skier. The maximum height attained by the projectile is given by :

$H=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2\theta}{g}$

$10.9=\dfrac{u^2\ sin^2(63)}{9.8}$

u = 11.6 m/s

So, the launch speed of the skier is 11.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
