Answer:
a) Em = Pe
= 4.9 10⁴ J, b) K = 2.05 10⁴ J
, c) K = 3.92 104 J
,
e) W_ friction = Em = 4.9 10⁴ J
Explanation:
The skier goes down the slope if we assume that there is no friction, the mechanical energy is conserved
Em = PE + K
where the potential energy is
PE = m g h
the kinetic energy is
K = ½ m v²
Let's write the mechanical energy at various points
a) Point A. It is the highest point of the entire system and as the skier is leaving his speed is zero
Em = Pe
Em = m g h
let's calculate
Em = 50 9.8 100
Em = 4.9 10⁴ J
b) Point B. This point is 60 m
Em = Pe + K
K = Em - Pe
K = 4.9 10⁴ - m g h_B
K = 4.9 10⁴ - 5 9.8 60
K = 4.9 10⁴ - 2.85 10⁴
K = 2.05 10⁴ J
c) point c. This point is 20 m
Em = Pe + K
K = Em -Pe = 4.9 10⁴ J - m g h_c
K = 4.9 10⁴ - 50 9.8 20 = 4.9 10⁴ - 9800
K = 3.92 104 J
d) point d. It is at a height of 60 m
Em = Pe + K
K = Em -Pe
K = 4.9 10⁴ - m g h
K = 4.9 10⁴ - 50 9.8 60
=4.9 104 - 2.94 10⁻⁴
K = 4.897 104 J
e) point E. In this part they indicate that the body is stopped, therefore in this flat part it must be friction so that a device work is carried out that makes the understanding transform into heat by friction and the system stops
W_ friction = Em = 4.9 10⁴ J
