A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,

and the coefficient of friction between snow and skis is 0.075. At the bottom of the hill, the snow is level and the coefficient of friction is unchanged. How far does the skier glide along the horizontal portion of the snow before coming to rest?

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

v_m = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

v_M = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m

Which of the following is true about green light? a) It has a greater frequency than red light and blue light. b) It has a small
lesantik [10]

Answer:

c) It has a greater frequency than red light but a smaller frequency than blue light.

Explanation:

According to the relation:

c = frequency × Wavelength

The higher the frequency, the lower the value of wavelength

The order of wavelength is:

Violet < Indigo < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red

Stated above, frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Thus, the order of wavelength is:

Violet > Indigo > Blue > Green > Yellow > Orange > Red

Thus,

<u>Green light has lower frequency than blue light and higher than red light.</u>

What does the statement "all motion is relative"<br> mean?
tekilochka [14]
The statement that motion is relative is an important concept in physics. The meaning behind this statement is that the motion of an object is relative to either the frame of reference of the observer, or to another distinct frame of reference.
