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 the skier when they hit the spring the first time down the ramp? B: How much does the spring compress the first time the skier hits it? C: The skier will be pushed back up the hill so the process will continue. How many cycles (n) will occur until the skier - eventually stops?

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?

A 89.35-kg skier with an initial speed of vi=43.91 m/s coasts up a H=15.58-m-high rise as shown in the figure. The slope angle is theta=50.33. What is her final speed at the top? Assume the coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.069 (Hint: Find the distance traveled up the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.) Use g = 10 m/s2.

A 1150 kg car drives up a hill that is 15.7 m high. During the drive, two nonconservative forces do work on the car: (i) the force of friction, and (ii) the force generated by the car's engine. The work done by friction is −2.91×105 J ; the work done by the engine is 6.74×105 J . Find the change in the car's kinetic energy from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill.

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...

During a free dance program in figure skating, Victor (m=71 kg) glides at 2.1 m/s to a stationary Shae-Lynn (52 kg) and hangs on. a) What is their final speed? b) How long will the pair slide after the "collision"? c) How far will the pair slide after the "collision" if coefficient of kinetic friction µk between their skates and the ice is 0.052?

A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 480 N/m . The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.26. What is the speed of the box just before hitting the...

A 60.0 kg skier is moving at 6.15 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.95 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.330. After crossing the rough patch and returning to friction-free snow, she skis down an icy, frictionless hill 2.95 m high. How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill? How much internal energy was generated in crossing...
