A 74 kg skier has a speed of 9.2 m/s at point A. She then encounters a 1.75 m deep dip in the snow's surface that has a circular cross section with a radius of curvature of 12 m. Note: You may ignore friction in this problem. a.) How large is the normal force exerted by the snow on the skier at point B? N b.) How much work is done by the normal force on the skier from point A to point B? J 1.75 m r = 12 m
Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass m: object 1 has mass 4.90m, object 2 has mass 1.46m, and object 3 has mass m. When the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. If the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic 2 expression. Each algebraic expression is given using some 3 combination of the variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Enter only the numerical coefficient. (Example: If the answer is 1.23mgd, just enter 1.23) U g,system mgd

For its size, the common flea is one of the most accomplished jumpers in the animal world. A 2.10-mmmm-long, 0.470 mgmg flea can reach a height of 20.0 cmcm in a single leap. Part A Ignoring air drag, what is the takeoff speed of such a flea? Express your answer in meters per second. Part B Calculate the kinetic energy of this flea at takeoff. Express your answer in joules. Part C Calculate the kinetic energy per kilogram of mass. Express your answer in joules per kilogram. If a 77.0 kgkg, 2.00-mm-tall human could jump to the same height compared with his length as the flea jumps compared with its length, how high could the human jump? Express your answer in meters. If a 77.0 kgkg, 2.00-mm-tall human could jump to the same height compared with his length as the flea jumps compared with its length, what takeoff speed would the person need?
