A cyclist is coasting at 11 m/s when she starts down a 450 m long slope that is 30 m high. The cyclist and her bicycle have a combined mass of 70 kg. A steady 14 N drag force due to air resistance acts on her as she coasts all the way to the bottom.
Mass m = 70 kg
u = initial velocity = 11m/s
g = 9.8 m/s^2
F = 14 N
x = 450 m
Apply the Law of conservation of energy and solve the speed.
= 0.5mu^2 + mgH = Fx + 0.5mV^2
Put values..
= 0.5*70*11^2+ 70*9.8*30 = 14*450 +0.5*70*V^2
= 4235+20580=6300+35V^2
= 24815= 6300+35 V^2
=24815-6300= 35V^2
=18515=35V^2
=V^2= 18515/35
=V^2=529
= V=23 m/s

Imagine a cyclist coasting down a 5.0◦ incline at a constant speed of 6.0 km/h because of air resistance. If the total mass of the bicycle + cyclist is 50 kg, how much force must be generated to climb back up the incline at the same speed (and same air resistance)?
A woman rides a bicycle down a hill with a 15% slope (rise/run). The combined mass of the bicycle plus woman is 50 kg. She is riding into a 20-km-per hour wind. The only forces acting on the woman are drag force and weight. If the woman and bicycle together have a projected area of 1.0 m2, and the coefficient of drag is 1.1, how fast is the bicycle going relative to the ground? The density of air is 1.23...
A 64.0-kg skier starts from rest at the top of a ski slope of height 64.0 m . a) If frictional forces do −1.01×104 J of work on her as she descends, how fast is she going at the bottom of the slope? Take free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 b) Now moving horizontally, the skier crosses a patch of soft snow, where the coefficient of friction is 0.25. If the patch is of width 62.0 m...
A 23 kg child slides down a 2.2-m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 2.0 m/s.What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A 20 kg child slides down a 3.0-m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 1.7 m/s. What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants? What is the change in thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants?
Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 ^\circ frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a horizontal force of 200 N on him as he skies. a)Find Sam's speed at the bottom using work and energy. b)Find Sam's speed at the bottom using Newton's laws. Thanks!
A skier with mass 64.0 kg starts at rest at the top of an 842 m long ski slope, which makes an angle 13.0 ∘ with the horizontal. A typical coefficient of friction between skis and snow is 5.20×10−2. skiers don't go straight down the hill- they zigzag back and forth. Even though they still end up at the bottom of the hill, they've lost more energy to friction because friction is a non-conservative force. Let's say due to zigzagging,...
Question 2 A 50 kg skateboarder is planning a trick for an upcoming competition. She starts out riding her 7 kg skateboard with initial speed of 2.5 m/s. She and the skateboard then slide down a slope of height 3 meters. At the bottom of the slope, she steps from the first skateboard onto a second stationary 7 kg skateboard, leaving the first skateboard moving at half the speed it was before the switch. Finally, riding the 2nd skateboard, she...
A skater is moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s when she is at a height of 5 m above the ground on the frictionless track below. Neglect the effects of air resistance. Use the conservation of energy to determine the skater’s speed when she is 2 m above the ground on her way down the track. Use the conservation of energy to determine the skater’s speed when she is 2 m above the ground on her way back up...
Could someone help me by answering all of this questions
from Q7) A to D and Q8) A to C. Thank You
Q.C7 An 80 kg cyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle down a hill with a slope of 12 degrees without pedalling or braking. The cyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m and a drag coefficient of 1.1 in the upright position. Taking air density to be 1.25 kg/m2, and neglecting bearing friction and rolling resistance (a)...
