Answer:
magnitude=34.45 m
direction=
Explanation:
Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:
P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)
And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)
We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.
For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance between two points:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4) This is the magnitude of the vector
For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:
(5)
(6)
(7)
Finding :
(8)
(9) This is the direction of the vector
Answer:
v = 9.04 m / s
Explanation:
For this exercise we can use the relation that the work of the non-conservative force (friction) is equal to the variation of the mechanical energy of the system.
W = Em_f - Em₀ (1)
Starting point. Lower slope
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
highest point. Where is the skier at a height h
Em_f = U = m g h
The work of rubbing
W = -fr x
the negative sign is because the friction force opposes the movement.
Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the slope and the y axis is perpendicular
let's use trigonometry to break down the weight
cos θ = W_y / W
sin θ = Wₓ / W
W_y = W cos θ
Wₓ = W sin θ
Y axis
N - Wₓ = 0
N = mg sin θ
X axis
fr = m a
the friction force has the expression
fr = μ N
fr = μ mg sin θ
we look for the job
W = - μ mg sin θ x
where x is the distance along the slope
we substitute in 1
-μ mg sin θ x = mg h - ½ m v²
let's use trigonometry to find the distance x
tan 30 = h / x
x = h / tan 30
we substitute
- = m gh - ½ m v²
we use
tan 30 = sin30 / cos30
v² = 2g h + 2 μ g h cos 30
v =
let's calculate
v =
v = 9.04 m / s
