To solve part (a), calculate the work performed by the kinetic frictional force acting on the skis.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2[/katex] | Calculate the initial kinetic energy (KE) using the mass [katex] m = 58 \, \text{kg} [/katex] and the initial velocity [katex] v_i = 7.2 \, \text{m/s} [/katex]. |
| 2 | [katex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 58 \times (7.2)^2 = 1503.36 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute the values into the kinetic energy formula. |
| 3 | [katex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2[/katex] | Calculate the final kinetic energy using the final velocity [katex] v_f = 3.8 \, \text{m/s} [/katex]. |
| 4 | [katex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2} \times 58 \times (3.8)^2 = 418.76 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute the values into the kinetic energy formula. |
| 5 | [katex]W_{\text{gravity}} = mgh [/katex] | Calculate the work done by gravity, where [katex] h = d \sin(\theta) [/katex] is the height gained climbing the incline. [katex] d = 2.3 \, \text{m} [/katex] and [katex] \theta = 28^\circ [/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]h = 2.3 \sin(28^\circ) = 1.08 \, \text{m}[/katex] | Calculate the vertical height climbed using [katex] \sin(28^\circ) \approx 0.4695 [/katex]. |
| 7 | [katex]W_{\text{gravity}} = 58 \times 9.8 \times 1.080 = 614 \, \text{J}[/katex] | Substitute [katex] g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 [/katex]. |
| 8 | [katex] KE_i = KE_f + W_f + PE [/katex] | Place all energy transformation into a single conservation of energy equation: The initial kinetic energy transforms into the final kinetic energy, work done by friction, and the potential energy of the skier. |
| 9 | [katex]W_f = 1503.36 \, – \, 418.76 \, – \, 614 [/katex] | Plug in all values and solve for work done by friction [katex] W_f [/katex]. |
| 10 | [katex] W_f = 470.6 \, \text{J}[/katex] | The negative sign indicates that the work done by friction is in the direction opposite to the motion. |
To solve part (b), determine the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]W = f_k \times d \times \cos(\theta)[/katex] | Work done by a force [katex] f_k [/katex] over a distance [katex] d [/katex], where [katex] \theta [/katex] is the angle between the force and the displacement (which in the case of friction, is [katex]180^\circ[/katex]). |
| 2 | [katex] 470.6 = -f_k \times 2.3 \times \cos(180^\circ)[/katex] | Substitute the work calculated from part (a) and the distance [katex]2.3 \, \text{m}[/katex]. [katex] \cos(180^\circ) = -1 [/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex] -470.6 = f_k \times 2.3[/katex] | Simplify the equation. |
| 4 | [katex]f_k = \frac{-470.6}{2.3}[/katex] | Solve for [katex]f_k[/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]f_k = -204.6 \, \text{N}[/katex] | The magnitude of the kinetic frictional force. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass \( m \) to a string of length \( \ell \), then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius \( r \). The following figure shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.
Using only work and energy, find the velocity of the masses after they have traveled 0.8 meters. Refer to the image above.
A box of mass \(m\) is initially at rest at the top of a ramp that is at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. The block is at a height \(h\) and length \(L\) from the bottom of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is \(\mu\). What is the kinetic energy of the box at the bottom of the ramp?
A block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless ramp inclined at \( 30^\circ \) from the horizontal. When the block reaches the bottom, the block-Earth system has mechanical energy \( \text{E}_i \). The experiment is repeated, but now horizontal and vertical forces of magnitude \( F \)are exerted on the block while it slides, as shown above. When the block reaches the bottom, the mechanical energy of the block-Earth system.
When solving this problem consider the direcrtion of the net force acting on the block in the second experienment. Note how this net force acts perpendically to the distance the block travels.
A piece of metal of weight\(W\) is suspended by two identical strings. Each string passes through a pulley and is attached to a block of mass \(m\) . The system is in equilibrium.What must be true for \(m\) such that the two strings attached to the piece of metal are almost horizontal.

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
