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 45.0^{\circ} below the horizontal.

This occurs when the magnitude of the vertical velocity is equal to the horizontal velocity (in fact, \tan \theta =\frac{|v_y|}{v_x}, and since \theta=45.0^{\circ}, tan \theta = 1 and so |v_y| = v_x.

We already know the horizontal velocity of the skier:

v_x = 16.0 m/s

And this is constant during the entire motion.

The vertical velocity instead is given by

v_y = u_y + gt

where

u_y = 0 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 v_y = 16.0 m/s, we find the time:

t=\frac{v_y}{g}=\frac{16.0}{9.8}=1.63 s

Because the soles of your shoes have cleats, you can exert a forward force of 100 N even on slippery ice. A 10-kg picnic cooler
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

you must throw 3 snowballs

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment

Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator

          p₀ = n m v₀

Where n is the snowball number

Final. When the refrigerator moves

         pf = (n m + M) v

The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal

        n m v₀ = (n m + M) v

        n m (v₀ - v) = M v

        n = M/m    v/(vo-v)

Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton

          F = m a

          a = F / m

The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm

          v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x

          v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1

          v₁ = 14.14 m / s

This is the initial speed for the crash

         v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s

  Let's calculate

           n = M/m   v/ (v₀-v)

           n = 10/1   3 / (14.14 -3)

          n = 2.7 balls

you must throw 3 snowballs

A camera gives a proper exposure when set to a shutter speed of 1/250 s at f-number F8.0. The photographer wants to change the s
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

F4.0

Explanation:

To obtain a shutter speed of 1/1000 s to avoid any blur motion the f-number should be changed to F4.0 because the light intensity goes up by a factor of 2 when the f-number is decreased by the square root of 2.

Convert the volume 8.06 in.3 to m3, recalling that1in. =2.54cmand100cm=1m. Answer in units of m3.
galina1969 [7]
1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Therefore:

8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.

Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³

A rocket train car that is 30 m long is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at v=0.5c when a light at the center of the car f
Nataly [62]

Answer: The reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Explanation:

the speed of light is the same for the passenger and the bicyclist

then the avents are simultaneous fo the passenger not for the bicyclist

the delay between the two events for the bicyclist is

Δt=Δd/vs

where

Δd= lenght of train

vs=speed of sound

the reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Solution:

The space and time transformations are:

x' = γ(x - vt)

t' = γ(t - vx/c²).

In the primed frame the two events are simultaneous, so that Δt' = 0. Also here Δx' = 30. In the unprimed frame Δx' = 30 = γ(Δx - v Δt).......(*)

We also have Δt' = 0 = γ(Δt - vΔx/c²)→Δx = c²Δt/v......(**)

Substituting (**) in (*): 30 = γ(c²Δt/v - vΔt))→Δt = 30/(c²/v - v) =

30/(2c - 0.5c) = 6.7 x 10^(-8)s
