- A ski jumper starts from rest 50.0 m above the ground on a frictionless track and flies off the track at an angle of 45.0 above the horizontal and at a height of 10.0 m above the level ground. Neglect air resistance, (a) What is her speed when she leaves the track? (b) What is the maximum altitude she attains after leaving the track? (c) Where does she land relative to the end of the track?arrow_forwardA roller-coaster car shown in Figure P7.82 is released from rest from a height h and then moves freely with negligible friction. The roller-coaster track includes a circular loop of radius R in a vertical plane. (a) First suppose the car barely makes it around the loop; at the top of the loop, the riders are upside down and feel weightless. Find the required height h of the release point above the bottom of the loop in terms of R. (b) Now assume the release point is at or above the minimum required height. Show that the normal force on the car at the bottom of the loop exceeds the normal force at the top of the loop by six times the cars weight. The normal force on each rider follows the same rule. Such a large normal force is dangerous and very uncomfortable for the riders. Roller coasters are therefore not built with circular loops in vertical planes. Figure P5.22 (page 149) shows an actual design.arrow_forwardYou are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height hh 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/sm/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more than 30.0 m/sm/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 90.0 kgkg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 4000 JJ on him during his run down the slope. What is the maximum height hh for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded?arrow_forward
- Imagine a country side region with several smooth hills. A mass m slides over these hills on a day when they are covered with ice. Ignore friction. The top of the first hill is 7.0 m high from the ground level and the speed of the block at the top of the hill is 15m/s. Next hill is at 3.0 m from the zero level, what is the speed of the block when it is at the top of this hill?arrow_forwardA roller coaster ride starts at a height of 35 m above the ground. The mass of the car is 450 kg. Assuming friction can be ignored.

The speed of the particle at B is 2 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . a)What is its kinetic energy at B? b)What is the magnitude of the energy lost due to friction as the particle moves from A to B?arrow_forward
- a roller coaster car starts from rest atop a hill of height h, and rolls down a frictionless track, reaching a speed of 10 m/s at the bottom. If you want the car to reach a speed of 40 m/s at the bottom of the hill, by what factor must you increase the height of the hill?arrow_forwardIn a truck-loading station at a post office, a small 0.200 kg package is released from rest at point A on a track that is one-quarter of a circle with radius 1.60 m. The size of the package is much less than 1.60 m, so the package can be treated as a particle. It slides down the track and reaches point B with a speed of 4.80 m/s. From point B, it slides on a level surface a distance of 3.00 m to point C, where it comes to rest. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface?

The size of the package is much less than 1.8 m, so the package can be treated as a particle. It slides down the track and reaches point B with a speed of 3.7 m/s. From point B, it slides on a level surface a distance of 4 m to point C, where it comes to rest. m A R K B d C (a) How much work (in J) is done on the package by friction as it slides down the circular arc from A to B?

The packet is so small relative to said radius that it can be treated as a particle. The package slides along the track and reaches point B with a speed of 4.80 m/s.
