A40 kg-skier starts at the top of a 12-meter high slope. at the bottom, she is traveling 10 m/s. how much energy does she lose to friction? a. she doesn't lose any because mechanical energy is always conserved.
b.4,704 j
c. 2,000 j
d.2,704 j

Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2

To run the physics cart, the fan speed of the cart is manipulated. this is the (blank) variable. the cart accelerates due to the speed of the fan. acceleration is therefore the (blank) variable. a “constant” is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. one parameter of the cart that is held constant is the (blank) .

The desk has a weight of 75 lb and a center of gravity at g. determine the initial acceleration of a desk when the man applies enough force f to overcome the static friction at a and b. also, find the vertical reactions on each of the two legs at a and at b. the coefficients of static and kinetic friction at a and b are ms = 0.5 and mk = 0.2, respectively
