A 62.0 kg skier is moving at 6.50 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal snow covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.50 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and returning to friction-free snow, she skis down an icy, frictionless hill 2.50 m high. (a) How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill? (b) How much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?
Use the work–energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton’s laws to check your answers. A)A skier moving at 4.25 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220 with her skis. How far does she travel on this patch before stopping? B)Suppose the rough patch in part A was only 2.89 m long. How fast would the skier be moving when she reached the end of the...
Use the work–energy theorem to solve each of these problems. You can use Newton’s laws to check your answers. A) A skier moving at 5.57 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220 with her skis. How far does she travel on this patch before stopping? Express your answer with the appropriate units. B) Suppose the rough patch in part A was only 2.99 m long. How fast would the skier...
A 62-kg skier grips a moving rope that is powered by an engine and is pulled at constant speed to the top of a 23∘ hill. The skier is pulled a distance x = 310 m along the incline and it takes 2.0 min to reach the top of the hill.If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and skis is μk = 0.10, what horsepower engine is required if 30 such skiers (max) are on the rope at...
On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 6.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 46 % due to a friction force that is 26 % of her weight. Use the work-energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch.
"On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 4.3 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 42% due to a friction force that is 24% of her weight. Use the work—energy theorem to find the length of this rough patch."
On an essentially frictionless horizontal ice-skating rink, a skater moving at 2.8 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 47 % to a friction force that is 22 % of her weight. Use the work-energy principle to find the length of the rough patch.
A skier with mass 64.0 kg starts at rest at the top of an 842 m long ski slope, which makes an angle 13.0 ∘ with the horizontal. A typical coefficient of friction between skis and snow is 5.20×10−2. skiers don't go straight down the hill- they zigzag back and forth. Even though they still end up at the bottom of the hill, they've lost more energy to friction because friction is a non-conservative force. Let's say due to zigzagging,...
Two snow-covered peaks are at elevations of 862 m and 741 m above the valley between them. A ski run extends from the top of the higher peak to the top of the lower one as shown in the following figure 5. 862 m 741 m A skier starts from rest on the higher peak. At what speed would he arrive at the lower peak if he just coasted without using the poles? Assume icy conditions, so that there is...
