A skier of mass 60 kg starts at the top of a steep slope with an incline of 40 degrees . The slope has a slight coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.05 . The slope is L = 100 meters long. At the bottom of the slope, there is an ice ramp (frictionless) that is 10 meters long and angled up at 30 degrees.

a) Draw a diagram of the problem.

b) How much potential energy does the skier start with?

c) How much total energy does the skier start with?

d) How much energy is lost to friction on the slope?

e) How fast is the skier traveling when she flies off the ramp?

f) If there is a large trampoline positioned to catch the skier at the same altitude (y-position) as the beginning of the ramp, where should it be positioned?

g) The trampoline behaves like a spring. If the first bounce on the trampoline depresses the trampoline surface by delta y=1m, Without worrying about energy losses, what is the characteristic spring constant of the trampoline?

h) Due to losses in the system, the trampoline losses about 2000 Joules every bounce. How many times does the skier bounce? Where does the 1000 Joules on each bounce go? Speculate.

A 244 g mass is hung on a spring. As a result the spring stretches 20.5 cm. If the object is then pulled an additional 3.0 cm downward and released, what is the period of the resulting oscillation?

Please show work :)

F=kx found k, then use 2pi(sqrtm/k)? convert centimeters to meters and grams to kg? I resulted T= 0.972 confirm please.

An experiment to measure the value of g is constructed using a tall tower outfitted with two sensing devices, one a distance H above the other. A small ball is fired straight up in the tower so that it rises to near the top and then falls back down; each sensing device reads out the time that elapses between the ball going up past the sensor and back down past the sensor.

(a) It takes a time 2t1 for the ball to rise past and then come back down past the lower sensor, and a time 2t2 for the ball to rise past and then come back down past the upper sensor. Find an expression for g using these times and the height H. (Use the following as necessary: t1, t2, and H.)

(b) Determine the value of g if H equals 21 m, t1 equals 4 s, and t2 equals 3.42 s.

Thank you for the help- I can't figure out how to set up the first part and get an equation that will actually allow me to solve the second part. Let me know what steps you used. Thanks!

A crate rests on a frictionless incline, and is attached to a bucket of nails through a frictionless and weightless pulley as is shown.
Crate = 12.0 Kg Bucket = 25.0 Kg Angle = 20 degrees





a) You may assume that the crate accelerates up the incline. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate. (8 points)










a = ________

b) If the acceleration of the crate was calculated to be a negative value, what could be said about the assumption in part a) that the crate moved up the incline? (2 points)






c) What is the magnitude of the Normal force of the incline pushing up on the crate (find N the Normal Force) ? (6 points)







N = _________

d) It turns out that there really is friction between the crate and the incline. The value of the friction coefficients is Us = 0.25, and Uk = 0.15. What will the acceleration be of the crate up the incline if you take in account friction? (8 points)











a = _________

e) A workman who was watching the crate accelerate up the incline decides he wants to adjust the system so that the crate maintains a steady speed while traveling up the incline. He removes nails from the bucket to achieve this goal. Taking into account the friction from part d), what should the new mass of the bucket of nails be to make this happen? (8 points)
