Explanation:
Complete statement of the question is :
In the winter activity of tubing, riders slide down snow covered slopes while sitting on large inflated rubber tubes. To get to the top of the slope, a rider and his tube, with a total mass of 84 kg , are pulled at a constant speed by a tow rope that maintains a constant tension of 350 N .
Part A
How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?
Solution :
= tension force in the tow rope = 350 N
= length of the incline surface = 120 m
= work done by tension force = ?
The tension force acts parallel to incline surface, hence work done by tension force is given as
= height gained by the rider = 30 m
= total mass of rider and tube = 84 kg
Potential energy gained is given as
= Thermal energy created
Using conservation of energy
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.
Re-arranging the formula, we get:
and since we know the constant of the spring:
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.
Re-arranging the formula, we get:
and since we know the constant of the spring:
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
