Question
A skiier is moving at a speed of 2.50 m/s when passing the starting line on a hill that initially has a 20.0° slope. After 32.0 m the hill becomes steeper with a slope of 30° for the next 32.0 m until the finish line which is at an elevation of 30.0 m below the starting point. Assuming there is no friction or air resistance, how fast is the skiier moving at the finish line?

- While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 7.00 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 14 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground?

Now suppose the blocks starts on the track at x = 4.73 m. The block is given a push to the left and begins to slide up the track, eventually reaching its maximum height at x = 0, at which point it turns around and begins sliding down. What was its initial speed in this case? 13.30 m/s 14.13 m/s 9.74 m/s 6.89 m/sarrow_forwardWhat is the maximum speed that the skater can reach if she goes all the way down to ground level?arrow_forward
- A ball is dropped (from rest) from a window and hits the ground with a speed of 7.0m/s. If the ball were dropped from double the height, what would be its speed (in m/s) when it hits the ground? Your Answer:arrow_forwardA daring 51kg swimmer doves off a cliff a running horizontal leap . what must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cloff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom which is L=2.25 m wide and h=9.50m below the cliffarrow_forwardOK, same sort of track, but now with d = 2.66 m. Now suppose the blocks starts on the track at x = 4.35 m. The block is given a push to the left and begins to slide up the track, eventually reaching its maximum height at x = 0, at which point it turns around and begins sliding down. What was its initial speed in this case?arrow_forward
- a skateboarder moving at 5.90 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by θ = 46.0° above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.790 m above the ground. When she leaves the track, she follows the characteristic path of projectile motion. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the maximum height H to which she rises above the end of the track.arrow_forwardA small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 6.60 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s. Q: What is the speed of the block when it is 3.80 m from the top of the incline?arrow_forwardWhile standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.71 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. impact speed: m/s How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: Sarrow_forward
