An 80 kg skier stands at the top of a 40-meter slope. She then skis down the slope. What is her approximate speed at the bottom

of the slope if friction is negligible and her kinetic energy is 31360 J?

Thank you for that information.  If we know her mass and kinetic energy, then we don't need any of that other business about the height of the slope, her skiing ability, the friction of the snow, what she uses to wax her skis, the color of her parka, or what she had for lunch at the chalet.  The mass and kinetic energy are enough to answer the question.

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed)²

31,360 J = (1/2) · (80 kg) · (speed)²

speed² = (31,360 J) / (40 kg)

speed² = 784 m²/s²

speed = <em>28 m/s</em>

vazorg [7]
The cart experiences a frictional force which is directly proportional to its weight. This means that there must be a force applied on the car to balance the forces on the car to produce a net force of 0.
This is in accordance to Newton's first law which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. The force must be a resultant force.
Therefore, the force needed increases with the total weight of the cart as well as with the added mass in a linear manner.

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters

Which state of matter takes both the shape and volume of its container?
Tresset [83]

The <em>gaseous state</em> of matter does that.  A gas expands to take the shape and volume of whatever you put it into.

How do i do a Wavelength and frequency problem
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

wavelength = v/f or wavelength equals to velocity over frequency

frequency= v/w or velocity over wavelength

frequency= 1/p or one over period or time
