Question
During a downhill skiing start, a 65 kg skier generates the following forces while beginning their race on a flat surface. A reaction force between their poles and the snow that is directed 10 degrees above the ground at a magnitude of 200 Newtons. A reaction force between the skis and the snow that is directed 35 degrees above the ground and is equal to 1100 Newtons. The coefficient of friction between the poles and the snow is 0.35 and between the skis and the snow it is 0.1. What is resultant acceleration of the skier?

- Multiple-Concept Example 5 reviews many of the concepts that play a role in this problem. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 32.5° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.244. She coasts for a distance of 12.3 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.67 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands?

Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . What speed ? (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision?

With its engine off, it lands on the runway at a speed of 40m⋅s-1 . A hook on the plane snags a cable attached to a 120kg sandbag and drags the sandbag along. If the coefficient of friction between the sandbag and the runway is µk = 0.4, and if the plane’s brakes give an additional retarding force of magnitude 1400N, how far does the plane go before it comes to a stop?arrow_forward
