Answer:
1.63 s
Explanation:
The skier lands on the sloped section when the direction of its velocity is exactly identical to that of the slope, so at
below the horizontal.
This occurs when the magnitude of the vertical velocity is equal to the horizontal velocity (in fact,
, and since
and so
.
We already know the horizontal velocity of the skier:

And this is constant during the entire motion.
The vertical velocity instead is given by

where
is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the skier flies off horizontally)
g = 9.8 m/s^2
t is the time
Here we have chosen the downward direction as positive direction.
Substituting
, we find the time:

Answer:
Explanation:
Let us calculate the average velocity .
Average velocity = total distance / total time
Time taken to drive first 15 mi
= 15 / 60 = .25 h
Time taken to drive next 15 mi
= 15 / 30 = .5 h
Total time = .25 + .5 = .75 h
Total distance = 30 mi
average speed = 30 / .75
= 40 mi / h
So average speed is 40 mph which is less than given velocity of 45 mph .
Hence if she travels at 45 mph , she will take less time .
Answer:
The work done is equal to zero = 0
Explanation:
Let us remember that the definition of physical work is given by the product of force by the displacement of the body.
