### Question 3#### Physics Problem: Calculating Velocity of a SledA sled sits at the top of an icy hill that is 20 m tall. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the hill? Assume there is no friction between the sled and the hill, and that the sled starts from rest.**Answer:**---#### Explanation:To find the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the hill, we can utilize the principle of conservation of energy. The potential energy at the top will convert into kinetic energy at the bottom.- **Potential Energy (PE) at the top:** \[ PE = mgh \]where \( m \) is the mass of the sled, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²), and \( h \) is the height of the hill (20 m).- **Kinetic Energy (KE) at the bottom:** \[ KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \]where \( v \) is the velocity of the sled.Since \( PE \) at the top converts entirely to \( KE \) at the bottom:\[ mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \]The mass \( m \) cancels out from both sides:\[ gh = \frac{1}{2}v^2 \]Solving for \( v \):\[ v^2 = 2gh \]\[ v = \sqrt{2gh} \]\[ v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 20 \, \text{m}} \]\[ v = \sqrt{392} \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \]\[ v \approx 19.8 \, \text{m/s} \]Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the hill is approximately \( 19.8 \, \text{m/s} \).

Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.40 m , its speed is 3.00 m/s. If the total mass of the two blocks is 18.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block? Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.

An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0, and κ.
