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

What capacitor in series with a 100ω resistor and a 24.0 mh inductor will give a resonance frequency of 1040 hz ?
dexar [7]
The resonant frequency of a RLC circuit in series is the frequency at which the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are equal:
X_L = X_C 
where:
X_L = 2 \pi f L
X_C =  \frac{1}{2 \pi f C} (1)
where
f is the frequency
L is the inductance 
C is the capacitance

In our circuit, we have the inductance:
L=24.0 mH=0.024 H
and the resonant frequency:
f=1040 Hz
so we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the capacitance of the circuit:
C= \frac{1}{4 \pi^2 f^2 L}= \frac{1}{4 \pi^2 (1040 Hz)^2 (0.024 H)}=9.8 \cdot 10^{-8} F=98 nF

how high does a rock rise in the air if it is thrown upward at an initial velocity 48.3ft/s and if its time of ascent is 1.5s?
Dima020 [189]

here we know that rock is thrown in air with speed

v_i = 48.3 ft/s

here we will convert it into SI unit

v_i = 48.3 * \frac{0.3048}{1} = 14.7 m/s

now as the rock will rise in the air its velocity will keep on decreasing due to the gravity of earth in opposite direction

here we can say that at the highest point from the earth the speed of the rock will become zero

so we can use kinematics to find the rise of the rock in given time of 1.5 s

h = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}*t

h = \frac{0 + 14.7}{2}* 1.5

h = 11 m

so the rock will rise up by total height h = 11 m

The arrows show the direction of rotation of the merry-go-round, which moves with a constant speed, moves with a constant speed
Alina [70]
This question is lacking especially the diagram, well I've read the entire question and seen its diagram and it demonstrates a Coriolis effect. The child that could get the ball would be child c. Well Coriolis effect is the deflection of a free moving object, such as ball, due to a rotation of the merry go round.
