A skier is moving down a snowy hill with an acceleration of 0.40 m/s2. The angle of the slope is 5.0∘ to the horizontal. What is

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.25377 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction

$\theta$ = Slope

From Newton's second law

$mgsin\theta-f=ma\\\Rightarrow mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{gsin\theta-a}{gcos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.81\times sin5-0.4}{9.81\times cos5}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.04655$

Applying $\mu$ to the above equation and $\theta=10^{\circ}$

$mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow a=gsin\theta-\mu gcos\theta\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times sin10-0.04655\times 9.81\times cos10\\\Rightarrow a=1.25377\ m/s^2$

a stone is projected vertically up from the top of a tower 73.5m with velocity 24.5 m/s . find the time taken by the stone to re

hoa [83]

The stone's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The stone reaches the ground when $y=0$ :

$0=73.5\,\mathrm m+\left(24.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=7.11\,\rm s$

A sample of a gas occupies a volume of 90 mL at 298 K and a pressure of 702 mm Hg. What is the correct expression for calculatin

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

volume of sample $V_1=90\ mL$

Temperature $T_1=298\ K$

Pressure $P_1=702\ mm\ of\ Hg$

for different conditions

Temperature $T_2=273\ K$

Pressure $P_2=760\ mm\ of\ Hg$

suppose $V_2$ is the volume of sample

Using ideal gas equation

$PV=nRT$

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{702\times 90}{298}=\frac{760\times V_2}{273}$

$V_2=76.15\ mL$
