Blaine steps onto a ski slope with an angle of 25°. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15 between him and the groun
d. He has a mass of 65 kg.
Draw the free-body diagram showing the forces acting on Blaine.
Draw the free-body diagram showing the forces acting on Blaine.
1 answer:
θ = angle of the incline surface from the horizontal surface = 25⁰
μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.15
m = mass of the person = 65 kg
= kinetic frictional force acting on the person as he slides down
mg = weight of the person acting in down direction
= normal force by the incline surface on the person
the free body diagram showing the forces acting on the person is given as

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.
Then using the second law of equation,
Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so
So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
