Question
A skier starts at rest at the top of a large hemispherical
hill (Fig. P7.63). Neglecting friction, show that the skier will
leave the hill and become airborne at a distance h = R/3
below the top of the hill. Hint: At this point, the normal force
goes to zero.

The block slides up a slope to a height of 3.00 m and then slides across a 2.50 m long rough surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.325. The block continues to travel to the right and bumps into a massless spring with a spring constant (k) equal to 2320 N/m. a) How much does the spring get compressed by the block with respect to its equilibrium length? Please answer with a positive number in units of metres, with 3 sig figs. Start with conservation of energy: E, = E; + WNC , and show all steps. b) What is the potential energy stored by the spring when the mass comes to a stop? Please show the symbolic equation and then "plug in the numbers" to give a numerical answer in units of joules with 3 sig figs. c) What happens to the potential energy stored in the spring after the block stops…arrow_forwardCaroline takes her baby sister Hannah to the neighborhood park and places her in the seatof the children’s swing.
