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>

How can i calculate distances between objects by using the concepts of echo location
dangina [55]
Send wave from your location to the object and wait until echo is back.
Measure the time taken.

If you know the speed of wave (say sound wave), than just multiply by half time taken wave to return

Find the equivalent resistance of this
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.
