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 .

In order for an object to have kinetic energy it must have a mass and a ?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

  • The mechanical energy of the body is defined as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy.

                                   E = P.E + K.E

  • The potential energy of a body is due to the height from the surface of the earth.

                                  P.E = mgh

  • The kinetic energy of the is possessed by the body due to the virtue of its motion,

                                  K.E = ½ mv²

  • If there is no velocity associated with the body, there is no K.E in the body.

Which of the following is true in regard to a charged atom?
anzhelika [568]
I believe a charged Atom is an ion. And that a charged atom possess it's charge due to the different number of electrons that it possess. Unlike an uncharged atom or neutral atom, a charged atom may possess more or less than the number of electrons found in an uncharged atom.

Please help me with this...<br>And Show all steps correctly​
ipn [44]

Answer:

4 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s

Acceleration (a) = –8m/s²

Time (t) = 2 s

Displacement (s) =?

The displacement of the object can be obtained as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

s = (10 × 2) + (½ × –8 × 2²)

s = 20 + (–4 × 4)

s = 20 + (–16)

s = 20 – 16

s = 4 m

Thus, the displacement of the object is 4 m.
