QUESTION:

Problem 50P

Draw an appropriate graph of the data and, from the slope of the best-fit line, determine the impulse.

II The skiing duo of Brian (80 kg) and Ashley (50 kg) is always a crowd pleaser. In one routine, Brian, wearing wood skis, starts at the top of a 200-m-long, 20° slope. Ashley waits for him halfway down. As he skis past, she leaps into his arms and he carries her the rest of the way down. What is their speed at the bottom of the slope?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

The objective here is to calculate the speed at the bottom of a slope, when two skiers collide at midway of the slope when the masses of the skiers and parameters of the slope are known.
