Answer:
<em>The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Principle Of Conservation Of Mechanical Energy</u>
The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy. When the only potential energy considered in the system is related to the height of an object, then it's called the gravitational potential energy. The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and speed v is
The gravitational potential energy when it's at a height h from the zero reference is
The total mechanical energy is
The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states the total energy is constant while no external force is applied to the system. One example of a non-conservative system happens when friction is considered since part of the energy is lost in its thermal manifestation.
The initial conditions of the problem state that our glider is glides at 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The initial mechanical energy is
Operating in terms of m
Then we know the glider dives to 278 meters and we need to know their final speed, let's call it 
. The final mechanical energy is
Operating and factoring
Both mechanical energies must be the same, so
Simplifying by m and rearranging
Computing
The glider's new speed is 68.90 m/s

Answer:
Option d)
Solution:
As per the question:
Work done by farm hand, 
Force exerted, F' = 310 N
Angle, 
Now,
The component of force acting horizontally is F'cos
Also, we know that the work done is the dot or scalar product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force acting on an object.
Thus
d = 3.406 m = 3.4 m
In order to answer this question ... strange as it may seem ...
we only need one of those measurements that you gave us
that describe the door.
The door is hanging on frictionless hinges, and there's a torque
being applied to it that's trying to close it. All we need to do is apply
an equal torque in the opposite direction, and the door doesn't move.
Obviously, in order for our force to have the most effect, we want
to hold the door at the outer edge, farthest from the hinges. That
distance from the hinges is the width of the door ... 0.89 m.
We need to come up with 4.9 N-m of torque,
applied against the mechanical door-closer.
Torque is (force) x (distance from the hinge).
4.9 N-m = (force) x (0.89 m)
Divide each side by 0.89m: Force = (4.9 N-m) / (0.89 m)
= 5.506 N .
