Answer: 26.460\times 10^3\ J

Explanation:

Given the mass of skier m=72 kg

distance traveled d=75 m

constant speed v=3.4 m/s

If speed is constant  then there must no force acting in the direction of motion

i.e. tension force must be equal to the component of weight

T=mg\sin 30^{\circ}

Work done is given by

\Rightarrow W=F\cdot d=Td\cos 0^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow W=mg\sin 30^{\circ} d=72\times 9.8\times 0.5\times 75\\\Rightarrow W=26.460\times 10^3\ J

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J
alexandr402 [8]
We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v. 

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!

The graph in the accompanying figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of the force exerted by a given spring as a function of the
serious [3.7K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched spring is 1 J.

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring.

Given that;

Force on the spring = 350 Newton

Distance stretched = 7 centimeters or 0.07 m

Hence;

F = ke

k = F/e = 350 Newton/0.07 m = 5000 N/m

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke^2

= 0.5 × 5000 × (2 × 10^-2)^2 =1 J
