Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 ^\circ frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a horizontal force of 200 N on him as he skies.
a)Find Sam's speed at the bottom using work and energy.
b)Find Sam's speed at the bottom using Newton's laws.

Respuesta :

At the base of the incline, Sam is moving at a speed of 15.73 m/s. who weighs 75 kg puts on his skis and begins to descend a 50 m-high, 20 frictionless slope.

Sam's bottom-of-the-screen speed is determined using the Work-Energy Theorem as follows: An object moves parallel to the plane on a slope with no friction. Both the normal force and the gravitational perpendicular component cancel each other out because they are acting in the same speed. Therefore, an object on a frictionless slope is solely accelerated by the gravitational parallel component. On a surface on an inclined plane with no friction, any item accelerates.

delta W is equal to the delta kinetic energy for frictionless slope

(36750 - 27472) = 1/2*75*(v2 -0).

9278=37.5(v^2)

v^2 = 9278/37.5(v2)

v^2 = 247.4v = 15.73 m/s
