A skier with a mass of 63 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy (frictionless) slope that has a length of 50 m at an angleof

32° with respect to the horizontal. At the bottom of the slope. the path levels out and becomes horizontal, the snowbecomes less icy, and the skier begins to slow down, coming to rest in a distance of 140 m along the horizontal path, (a)What is the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope? (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skierand the horizontal surface?

Answer:

Explanation:

When the skier reaches the bottom of the slope , height lost by it

h = 50 sin32 m

= 26.5 m

potential energy lost

= mgh

Gain of kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv²

mgh = 1/2 mv²

v = √ 2gh

= √ (2x9.8 x 26.5)

= 22.8 m /s

b )

Let μ be the coefficient of kinetic friction required.

friction force acting

= μmg

work done by friction in displacement of  d (40 m ) on horizontal surface

- μmg x d

This negative work will be equal to positive kinetic energy of the skier on horizontal surface .

=  μmg x d  = (1/2) m v²

μ = v² / (2 gd)

= 519.4 / (2 x 9.8 x 140 )

= .19

Car A starts out traveling at 35.0 km/h and accelerates at 25.0 km/h2 for 15.0 min. Car B starts out traveling at 45.0 km/h and
lawyer [7]

1 kilometre=1000 metre

      1 hour = 3600 second

       1\ km/hr=\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

       1\ km/hr=\frac{5}{18} m/s

The initial velocity of car A is 35.0 km/hr i.e

                                         35.0\ km/hr=35*\frac{5}{18} m/s

                                                                   = 9.72 m/s

The initial velocity of car B is 45 km/hr =12.5 m/s

The initial velocity of car C is 32 km/hr = 8.89 m/s

The initial velocity of car D is 110 km/hr=30.56 m/s

The acceleration of car A is given as  25\ km/hr^2

                                            =\ 25*\frac{1000}{3600*3600} m/s^2

                                            =0.00192901234 m/s^2

The time taken by car A = 15 min.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

                                 v= u+at      [Here v is the final velocity and a is the acceleration and t is the time]

Final velocity of A,  v = 9.72 m/s +[0.00192901234×15×60]m/s

                                   =11.456111106 m/s

The acceleration of B is given as    15\ km/hr^2

                                    =0.00115740740740 m/s^2

The time taken by car B =20 min

The final velocity of B is -

                             v= u+at

                               = u-at    [Here a is negative due to deceleration]

                               =12.5 m/s +[0.0011574074074×20×60]

                               =13.8888888.....

                               =13.9

The acceleration of C is given as    40\ km/hr^2          

                                                            =\ 0.003086419753 m/s^2

The time taken by car C =30 min

The final velocity of C is-

                                v = u+at

                                   =8.89 m/s+[0.003086419753×30×60] m/s

                                   =14.4455555555..m/s

                                   =14.45 m/s

The car C is decelerating.The deceleration is given as-  60\ km/hr^2

                                                                      =0.0046296296296m/s^2

The time taken by car D= 45 min.

The final velocity of the car D is-

                     v =u+at

                        =30.56 -[0.00462962962962×45×60]m/s

                        =18.06 m/s

Hence from above we see that the magnitude of final velocity car C and B is close to 15 m/s. The car C is very close as compared to car B.
