A skier starts from rest at the top of a 20 degree incline and skis in a straight line to the bottom of the slope, a distance d

(measured along the slope) of 400 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.2, calculate the skier's speed at the bottom of the run.

Answer:

Explanation:

Loss of potential energy = mgh.

h = d sin 20

= 400 sin20 = 136.8 m

Loss of potential energy = m x 9.8 x  136.8

= 1340.64 m

negative work done by friction = μ mg cosθ x d

= .2 x m x 9.8 x cos 20 x 400

= 736.72 m

Net loss of potential energy = 1340.64 m - 736.72 m

= 603.92 m

= gain of kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

1/2 m v² = 603.92 m

v² = 1207.84

v = 34.75 m /s .

What is 4 differences between saturated unsaturated and supersaturated solutions
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Unsaturated Solution: Less amount of salt in water, clear solution, no precipitation. Saturated Solution: The maximum amount of salt is dissolved in water, Colour of the solution slightly changes, but no precipitation. Supersaturated Solution: More salt is dissolved in water, Cloudy solution, precipitation is visible.

A car is traveling at a speed of 33 m/s . (a) what is its speed in kilometers per hour? (b) is it exceeding the 90 km/h speed li
Zina [86]

According to the statement:

a) speed is equal to 118 km/h in kilometres per hour.

b) yes it is exceeding 90km/h.

<h3>What does speed mean?</h3>

The pace at which an object's position changes in any direction is referred to as speed. Speed is defined as the ratio of something like the distance traversed to the time required to cover that distance. . . Speed is a scalar quantity since it just has a direction and no magnitude..

<h3>How are the speeds determined?</h3>

Speed is determined by dividing the distance by the time. Calculating the units for speed requires knowledge of the units for both time and distance.. The units in this example will be meters per second (m/s), since the distance is measured in meters (m) and the time is measured in seconds (s).

(a)s₂= 118.km/h is its speed in kilometres per hour.

1h = 3600s

1km = 1000m

s₂= (33m/s) *\left(\frac{60 \times 60}{1000}\right)

= 118.8km/h

s₂= 118.km/h

(b) yes it is exceeding 90km/h.

The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be
kap26 [50]

Answer:

v = 14.86 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the force equation at the top is given as

\frac{mv^2}{R} = ma

now we know that

a_c = 1.5 g

so we have

\frac{v^2}{R} = 1.5 g

v = \sqrt{1.5 Rg}

so we will have

v = \sqrt{1.5(15)(9.81)}

v = 14.86 m/s
