A 58 kg skier is skiing down a 25 degree hill which offers negligible friction. Near the top of the hill (x =0), her speed is relatively small and equal to 3.6 m/s, but 57 m further downhill (x>0), her speed has grown to 18.59 m/s. Draw a Free body diagram. (thank you)

a) Argue, based on some energy calculations of course, that there must be significant air resistance.

b) The air resistance is a variable force and changes quadratically with the distance according to fair(x) = Bx2 (the x-axis points downward along the incline). From this information and the knowledge of initial and final speeds, calculate the value of B.

A skier (m = 60 kg) initially at rest skis down a (frictionless) hill from an altitude of 75 m. When she reaches the bottom (a flat horizontal surface with µk = 0.2) she slows down until she comes to a stop. (a) What is her speed when she reaches the bottom of the hill? (b) Over what distance at the bottom does she come to a stop?

5: A skier, m = 65 kg, glides on a perfect hill, 10 m high, no friction. However, at the bottom is a spring, k = 1500 N/m , system to stop the skier. A silly technique I will grant you. The spring is not perfect, it loses 800 J of energy every time the spring fully compresses or extends. Now we will have to assume the spring never extends past its equilibrium position. A: What is the speed of...

A 0.18 kg puck is initially stationary on an ice surface with negligible friction. At time t = 0, a horizontal force begins to move the puck. The force is given by F→=(15.0-3.94t2)î, with F→ in newtons and t in seconds, and it acts until its magnitude is zero. (a) What is the magnitude of the impulse on the puck from the force between t = 0.560 s and t = 1.79 s? (b) What is the change in momentum...

My Notes A 5000-kg freight car rolls along rails with negligible friction. The car is brought to rest by a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in the figure below. Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants with k1 = 1700 N/m and k2 = 3200 N/m. After the first spring compresses a distance of 33.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force as additional compression occurs as shown in...

1. A skier of mass 80 kg starts from rest and slides down a frictionless slope of length 35 m that is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. Ignore air resistance. a. Calculate the work done by gravity on the skier, and the work done by the normal force on the skier. b. If the slope is not frictionless so that the skier has a final velocity of 25 m/s, calculate the work done by gravity,...

A sled slides without friction down a small, ice-covered hill. If the sled starts from rest at the top of the hill, its speed at the bottom is 8.20 m/s. (a) On a second run, the sled starts with a speed of 2.80 m/s at the top. When it reaches the bottom of the hill, is its speed 11.0 m/s, more than 11.0 m/s, or less than 11.0 m/s? more than 11.0 m/s equal to 11.0 m/s less than 11.0...

1. A 50 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 30 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of the slope, compressing the spring 10 cm. The spring constant is 25 N/m. a) When the ice cube is released, what total distance will it travel up the slope before reversing direction? b) The ice cube is replaced by a 50 g plastic cube whose coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20....
