Answer:

a) 4.98m/s²

b) 481.66N

Explanation:

a) Using the Newtons second law of motion

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\Wsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting along the plane

Ff is the frictional force opposing the moving froce

a is the acceleration of the skier

Given

m = 60kg

g = 9.8m/s²

\theta = 35°

Ff = 38.5N

Required

acceleration of the skier a

Substituting into the formula;

60(9.8)sin 35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\588sin35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\337.26 - 38.5 = 60a\\298.76 = 60a\\a = 298.76/60\\a = 4.98m/s^2\\

Hence the acceleration of the skier is 4.98m/s²

b) The normal force on the skier is expressed as;

N = Wcosθ

N = mgcosθ

N = 60(9.8)cos 35°

N = 588cos 35°

N = 481.66N

Hence the normal force on the skier is 481.66N

user100 [1]

For 3 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{3kg} = 4\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

For 6 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{6kg} = 2\lpha m / s^{2}</em>


Hope this helped, have a great day!~

Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?
GaryK [48]
Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment. 
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

As dry air rises, it expands, and this causes it to cool about 1 degree Celsius for every 100 meter rise, up to a height of 12 K
defon

Answer: T = G - H/100

T= 12 - 12000/100 = 12 - 120 = - 105 degrees

Explanation:

T = G - H/100

T is temperature in centigrade degrees.

G is the temperature in centigrade degrees at ground level.

H is the height above ground level measured in meters.

assuming the temperature at ground level is 15 degrees centigrade, then G = 15.

the formula then becomes:

T = 15- H/100.

at ground level, H = 0 and the formula becomes 15 - 0/100 = 15 degrees centigrade.

at 100 meters, H = 100 and the formula becomes 15 - 100/100 = 15 - 1 = 14 degrees centigrade.

at 12 km above ground level, H = 12000 and the formula becomes 15 - 12000/ 100 = 15 - 120 = -105 degrees centigrade.
