A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?

Physics

choli [55]2 years ago

This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters

Essam is abseiling down a steep cliff. How much gravitational potential energy does he lose for every metre he descends? His mas
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

720 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy that Essam loses for every metre is given by:

\Delta U=mg \Delta h

where

m=72 kg is Essam's mass

g=10 N/kg is the gravitational field strength

\Delta h=1 m is the difference in height

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

\Delta U=(72 kg)(10 N/kg)(1 m)=720 J

A 5.00-kg ball is hanging from a long but very light flexible wire when it is struck by a 1.50-kg stone traveling horizontally t
devlian [24]

consider the right direction as positive and left direction as negative.

M = mass of the ball = 5 kg

m = mass of stone = 1.50 kg

V_{bi} = initial velocity of the ball before collision = 0 m/s

V_{si} = initial velocity of the stone before collision = 12 m/s

V_{bf} = final velocity of the ball after collision = ?

V_{sf} = final velocity of the stone after collision = - 8.50 m/s

using conservation of momentum

MV_{bi} + mV_{si} = MV_{bf} + mV_{sf}

(5) (0) + (1.5) (12) = 5 V_{bf} + (1.50) (- 8.50)

V_{bf} = 6.15 m/s

h = height gained by the ball

using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by ball at Top = kinetic energy at the bottom

Mgh = (0.5) MV_{bf}^{2}

(9.8) h = (0.5) (6.15)²

h = 1.93 m

A block of mass 2.00 kg is initially at rest at x=0 on a slippery horizontal surface for which there is no friction. Starting at
Allisa [31]

Answer:

   x = 1,185 m ,     t = 4/3 s ,  F = - 4 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law

         F = m a = m dv /dt

        β - α t = m dv / dt

        dv = (β – α t) dt

     

We integrate

        v = β t - ½ α t²

We evaluate between the lower limits v = v₀ for t = 0 and the upper limit v = v for t = t

       v-v₀ = β t - ½ α t²

the farthest point of the body is when v = v₀ = 0

  0 = β t - ½ α t²

  t = 2 β / α

  t = 2 4/6

  t = 4/3 s

Let's find the distance at this time

   v = dx / dt

   dx / dt = v₀ + β t - ½ α t2

   dx = (v₀ + β t - ½ α t2) dt

We integrate

   x = v₀ t + ½ β t - ½ 1/3 α t³

   x = v₀ 4/3 + ½ 4 (4/3)² - 1/6 6 (4/3)³

The body comes out of rest

    x = 3.5556 - 2.37

    x = 1,185 m

The value of force is

    F = β - α t

    F = 4 - 6 4/3

   F = - 4 N
