A block is released from rest at point A and slides down a curved slope to point B, then continues until it comes to rest at point C. There is no friction from point A to point B, but there is friction from point B to point C. It stops in a time t as it travels from B to C. The vertical height of A is h above point B, and point C is horizontal distance x from point B.
a)Write an expression for the speed of the block vB at point B. Your answer should be in terms of x and t. (Use equations of one-dimensional kinematics.)
b)Write an expression for h. Your answer should be in terms of x, t, and g (9.80 m/s2). (Apply the work-energy theorem to the block’s motion from A to B.)
To enter the main pool at an amusement part, a swimmer uses a water slide which has a vertical height of 2.83 m. Find her speed at the bottom of the slide if she starts with an initial speed of 0.750 m/s.
You are designing a ski jump ramp for the olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) 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/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more that 30.0 m/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for an 85.0 kg skier, friction and air resistance will do a total work magnitude 4000 j on him during his run down the slope. What is the maximum height (h) for which the maximum speed will not be exceeded?
