- After studying physics, Emily has decided to take a plunge down a waterslide into an inflatable pool. She has placed a hose at the top of the slide so that water flowing down the slide has elimanated friction. The top of her slide is at a height, h = 2.5m above the ground and dips back upwards at the end (to a height of 0.50m) lanching her at an angle 0 = 30°. the inflatable pool is filled up such that the water level is 0.50m, aligning it vertically with the end of the waterslide. Emily has a mass of 50kg. th/5arrow_forwardYou throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m>s. Air resistance can be neglected. At what height above your hand does the ball have (a) half as much upward velocity, (b) half as much kinetic energy as when it left your hand?arrow_forwardA projectile of mass m is fired horizontally with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h above a flat, desert surface. Neglecting air friction, at the instant before the projectile hits the ground, find the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. (a) The work done by the force of gravity on the projectile. W = (b) The change in kinetic energy of the projectile since it was fired. ΔKE = (c) The final kinetic energy of the projectile. KEf =arrow_forward

(2) Energy is conserved. A B CM T A B t=0 time t> 0 CMarrow_forwardYou are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so they typically have a speed of 2.0 m/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more than 30.0 m/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 80.0 kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 4000 J on him during his run down the slope. 1) What is the maximum height h for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded? Express your answer in meters.arrow_forwardA 55.4-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.02 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 169 N.

- An 80.0-kg skydiver jumps out of a balloon at an altitude of 1 000 m and opens his parachute at an altitude of 200 m. (a) Assuming the total retarding force on the skydiver is constant at 50.0 N with the parachute closed and constant at 3 600 N with the parachute open, find the speed of the skydiver when he lands on the ground. (b) Do you think the skydiver will be injured? Explain. (c) At what height should the parachute be opened so that the final speed of the skydiver when he hits the ground is 5.00 m/s? (d) How realistic is the assumption that the total retarding force is constant?
