A skier starts going down a rocky hill that is inclined 30 degrees from the horizontal. It is 2 km long, and he starts with an initial speed of 5 m/s down the hill. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between his skis and the hill is 0.7: Does he make it to the bottom? If so, how long does it take?
The 70 kg A skier starts from a standing position from a height of 34.202 m, slides down from the inclined plane and then moves to the left in the horizontal plane. The kinetic coefficient of friction in the inclined plane is 0.25 and the friction force in the horizontal plane is 100 N. While the skier is moving in a horizontal plane, when d = 2 m, he collides with the 50 kg B skier who moves to the left at 10 m/s on the horizontal ground and they move together. Since there is no rebound after the impact, find the impulse given by skier A to skier B. (Neglect the weight of the skis.) A 34.202 m 20° B d
A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined at 9.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 195 m long, and the coefficient of friction between snow and skis is 0.0750. At the bottom of the hill, the snow is level and the coefficient of friction is unchanged. How far does the skier glide along the horizontal portion of the snow before coming to rest?
Alaya designs a slide for sacks of rice to slide down, dropping from the first floor to ground level in a barn. The length of her slide is 8.5m along with an angle theta of 40 degrees from the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide's surface is ?k=0.40 and the slide is not frictionless. At the top of slide, the sack slides down. The sack was initially at rest. After the sack leaves from the edge, it hits the ground z = 3.6m from the end of the slide a) Sketch the diagram b) determine the height from the top end point of the slide to the ground.
A skater starts from rest at the top of a frictionless hill that is inclined at 12⁰ with the horizontal. The hillside is 80.0 m long and the coefficient of friction between the snow and the skis is 0.125. At the bottom of the hill, the snow is level and the coefficient of friction is unchanged. Calculate the distance the skater slides along the horizontal portion of the snow before coming to rest.
An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 10.4m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point that is vertically 3.50m below the edge. What will be her landing speed? Answer: W = mg (s sin 0+Ah)– µsmg cos 0 =m(v, -v) net m s =10.4m, Ah=3.5m, 0=25°, v; = 0- gives v, =10.9- S
