Answer:
A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.
B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane
Explanation:
Let us work with variables and set

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.
Part A:
From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

Now the force of friction is
where
is the normal force and from the diagram it is 
Thus
Therefore,

Substituting the value for
we get:

Now acceleration is simply

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.
Part B:

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

Substitute the value of
and
and we get:
which is our answer.
Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of
, because for this formula absolute value is needed.
Answer: Change in momentum=9.4kgm/s
Impulse=9.4kgm/s
Explanation:
Change in momentum=5.1-(-4.3)=5.1+4.3=9.4kgm/s
Impulse=Change in momentum
There impulse=9.4kgm/s
Answer:
1270 J
Explanation:
Recall that the mechanical energy of a system is the addition of the Potential energy and the Kinetic energy at any given time.
As the skier descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, but the total mechanical energy should remain the same.
We see that it is not the case, so that difference is what has gone into thermal energy; 19500 J - 18230 J = 1270 J
Answer:
Da=(1/4)Db
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
When s = Da, t = t

When s = Db, t = 2t

Dividing the two equations

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db
