Answer
given,
mass of the ski = 75 Kg
speed of the skier, v = 3 m/s
time = 1.50 min = 90 s
angle of inclination, θ = 40°
distance = s x t
= 3 x 90 = 270 m
a) W = F. d cos θ
W = mg. d cos θ
W = 75 x 9.8 x 270 x cos 40°
W = 152021.52 J
work is done by the ski lift is equal to 152021.52 J
b) Power extended by the ski


P = 1689.13 Watt.
power is expended by the ski lift is equal to 1689.13 W.
When an object does not move even on pushing , static frictional force acts on in opposite direction of the applied force to stop the object from moving. static frictional force is a self adjusting force and it adjust its value according to the applied force if the applied force is smaller than the maximum value of static frictional force. The object starts moving once the applied force on it becomes greater than the maximum static frictional force. hence the statement is true.
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.
Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)
L is length of pendulum
