Answer:

31 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope, you have to apply the Work-Energy Principle for mechanical energy.

W ncf= ΔEm

Where ΔEm is the variation of mechanical energy between two points of the displacement and Wncf is the work of all non-conservative forces.

The only non-conservative force producing work is the friction force. The normal force doesn't produce work because it's perpendicular to the displacement.

The variation of the mechanical energy can be considered from the top to the bottom of the slope.

Wncf= Emf-Emi

Where Emf is the final mechanicl energy and Emi is the initial mechanical energy.

The mechanical energy is defined by:

Em= Ep+Ek

Where Ep is the potential energy and Ek is the kinetic energy.

At the top of the slope, there's only potential gravitational energy (the kinetic  energy is zero because the skier starts from rest)

Emi=Ep= mgh

m=60 kg, g=9.8 m/s² and h=50 m

Emi= 29400 J

At the bottom of the slope, there's only kinetic energy (the potential gravitational energy is zero because the height is zero)

Emf= Ek = 1/2mv² =30v²

where v is the speed and m is the mass.

Replacing in the equation:

-6.0 = 30v² - 29400

Solving for v (Adding 29400, dividing by 30, extracting the square root)

v=31.3 m/s

The quotient of the sum of 2t and 2, twice the cube of s
natali 33 [55]

Answer: \frac{2t+2}{2s^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you did not indicate what you need to do, I assume that you have to write an expression using the sentence given in the problem.

In order to solve this exercise, it is importat to remember the following information:

1. The quotient is the result of a division.

2. The sum is the result of an addition.

3. The word "twice" indicates a multiplicatio by 2.

4. The word "cube" indicates an exponent 3.

Then, keeping on mind the explained above and the data given in the exercise, you know that:

-The sum of 2t and 2 can be expressed as:

2t+2

- Twice the cube of s can be expressed in the following form:

2s^3

Therefore, you can dermine that "the quotient of the sum of  2t and 2 and twice the cube of s" is represented with the following expression:

\frac{2t+2}{2s^3}

Nora and Mindy are going to a movie. Mindy forgot her money and is going to pay Nora back later. The cost of the two tickets is
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

$9.62

Step-by-step explanation:

15.50 + 3.74 = 19.24

19.24 / 2 = 9.62

so Mindy must pay Nora $9.62

Melanie buys 2 shells for $0.80. Rosi buys 3 shells for $1.20. Carlos buys 4 shells for $1.60. Use the graph to determine whethe
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

There's a proportion relationship between number of shell and their cost

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is not given.

However, I've added the appropriate graph as an attachment.

From this, point....

I'll show that the cost and number of shells as given in the question are proportional.

Represent cost with y and number of shells with x

x = 2 when y = 0.8

x = 3 when y = 1.2

x = 4 when y = 1.6

Divide each value of y by x to get the constant of proportion (r).

r = y/x

r = 0.8/2 = 0.4

r = 1.2/3 = 0.4

r = 1.6/4 = 0.4

Notice that the values of r remain constant.

Hence, there's a proportion relationship between both

And what this rate represent is that:.the cost of shell changes at a constant rate when the number of shell is changes.
