A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk

is and the snow is 0.15. a. How fast is the skier going 5.0 s after starting from rest? b. After the Norwegian skier has been moving for 5.0 s, the friction of the snow suddenly increased making the net force on the skier zero. What is the new coefficient of friction? c. How fast would the skier now be going after skiing for 5.0s?

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-dia
Mashcka [7]

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

<h3>What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Pressure is  mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is  mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N

frictional force acting on a 0.5 kg object and a floor is 3 N. What is the coefficient of friction between the object and the fl
ikadub [295]

Answer:

μ  = 0.6

Explanation:

F =  μN

N = mg

F = μmg

3 N =  μ*0.5 kg * 9.8 m/s²

μ = 3/(0.5*9.8) = 0.6
