- A cyclist is coasting at 18 m/s when she starts on a 450 m long slope that is 40 m high. The cyclist and her bicycle have a combined mass of 75 kg. A steady 15 N drag force due to air resistance acts on her as she coast all the way down to the bottom. a) Draw a useful picture depicting this situation. Clearly label all lengths and relevant vector quantities (velocity, force). b) How much enercy does the cyclist have at the top of the slope? c) How much work does the drag on the cyclist as she goes down the slope? Clearly indicate sign of work. d) What is the cyclist's speed at the bottom of the slope?arrow_forwardQuestion 1. a) Consider a uniform force field where the force acting on a body has the same magnitude everywhere, pointing in the same direction (along the y-axis). Derive the formulae for the range and height of a body launched with velocity v at an angle 0 to the x-axis. b) Give two different examples where you might find such a uniform force field. What is the acceleration on the body in each example? c) Consider a projectile launched on the surface of the Earth. How fast does its initial velocity need to be before the assumption of a uniform force field in part a) becomes invalid? (Assume a launch angle of 45°). Explain your answer. (Hint: you will probably need to account for the horizon on Earth).arrow_forwardThree blocks, light connecting ropes, and a light frictionless pulley comprise a system, as shown in the figure.
