Answer:
h = 50.49 m
Explanation:
Data provided:
Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s
Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s
Mass of the skier, m = 85.0
Total work = 4000 J
Height from the starting gate = h
Now, from the law of conservation of energy
Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached
where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity
on substituting the values, we get
or
170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250
or
h = 50.49 m
Today we can make observations that would lead us to the same conclusion as newton. If you throw a baseball in the air, it always comes back down. This is because of gravity. duh.
A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.
The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.
B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.
C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.
That's false. Displacement would be (r2 - r1) .
