Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.

Over [174]

All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s.

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accele

kobusy [5.1K]

The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}$

We can clear time in the speed equation:

$v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s$

If you find some mistake in my English, please tell me know.
