Hi pj4444!!! letīs work!! Uniformly Accelerated Linear Motion equations: X = X0 + V0 * T + 1/2 * A * t^2 [1] Vf = V0 + A * T [2] A = constant [3] Vf^2 - V0^2 = 2 * A *(Xf - X0) [4] If Mk is the coefficient of kinetic friction, N is the Normal force (the component force in the perpendicular direction produced by the weight of the studied object)and Fk is the force of kinetic friction then: Fk = Mk * N [5] F = m * A [6] g = 9.81 m/s^2 Because the 30š slope, N = W * cos30 where W is the weight of the skier. Then Fk = Mk * N = 0.10 * W * cos30 = 0.10 * m * g * cos30 then the acceleration due Fk is: Ak = Fk / m = 0.10 * g * cos30 The skierīs acceleration due the gravity on the 30šslope is: Ag = g * sin30 The total acceleration of the skier is: A = Ag - Ak = g * sin30 - 0.10 * g * cos30 = 9.81 * 0.5 - 0.981 * 0.866 = = 4.055 m/s^2 This answer part a). Part b). Here we will use the equation [2]: Vf = V0 + A * T = 0 + 4.055 * 6 = 24.33 m/s This finish the problem. I hope this helps you, if you need a clarification please post a request for it. Best regards. livioflores-ga |
