In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 70.0 m along a 35° slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Note that this time difference can be very significant in competitive events so it is...
In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 75.0 m along a 35° slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Note that this time difference can be very significant in competitive events so it is...
2. Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses 2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.3 ✕ 108 J per gallon.) (a) What is the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? N (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many...
