Now moving horizontally, the skier crosses a patch of soft snow, where the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.160. If the patch i

s of width 62.0 m and the average force of air resistance on the skier is 160 N , how fast is she going after crossing the patch?

Answer:

14.1 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

μk = a/g...................... Equation 1

Where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction, a= acceleration of the skier, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make a the subject of the equation

a = μk(g).................. Equation 2

Given: μk = 0.160, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

a = 0.16(9.8)

a = 1.568 m/s²

Using,

F = ma

Where F = force, m = mass.

Make m the subject of the equation

m = F/a................... Equation 3

m = 160/1.568

m = 102.04 kg.

Note: The work done against air resistance by the skier+ work done against friction is equal to the kinetic energy after cross the patch.

Assuming the initial velocity of the skier to be zero

Fd+mgμ = 1/2mv²........................Equation 4

Where v = speed of the skier after crossing the patch, d = distance/width of the patch.

v = √2(Fd+mgμ)/m)................ Equation 5

Given: F = 160 N, m = 102.04 kg, d = 62 m, g = 9.8 m/s, μk = 0.16

Substitute these values into equation 5

v = √[2[(160×62)+(102.04×9.8×0.16)]/102.04]

v = √197.57

v = 14.1 m/s

v = 9.86 m/s

Prove that s=ut+½at²​
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s
