Physics
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

BASE jumping is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a parachute to descend safely to the ground. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and earth (cliff).[1][2] Participants exit from a fixed object such as a cliff, and after an optional freefall delay, deploy a parachute to slow their descent and land. A popular form of BASE jumping is wingsuit BASE jumping.

Explanation:

In contrast to other forms of parachuting, such as skydiving from airplanes, BASE jumps are performed from fixed objects which are generally much lower altitude, and BASE jumpers typically carry only one parachute. BASE jumping is significantly more hazardous than other forms of parachuting, and is widely considered to be one of the most dangerous extreme sports

(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H  = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Using Conservation of energy

KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f

0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0

v = \sqrt{2gH}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s
