Answer:
<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>
Explanation:
<u>Horizontal Motion
</u>
When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.
The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:
If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:
The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:
h= 38.416 m
The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high
Answer:
Explanation:
average speed more than 25.0m/s.
Displacement = 31 - 16 = +15 m
' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.
That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.
(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)
= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute ! Hold up ! Hee haw ! Whoa !
Excuse me. That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's
(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)
= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)
= 14.4 kW·hour
Rounded to the nearest whole number:
14 kWh
