Come solve this maths grin
Do you understand conservation of energy principle?

These are all very difficult questions. I doubt if I can solve them.

This is just a further mathematics. Don't see anything hard in these to be honest. This ain't no advanced calculus that's for sure.

oh really?
I find them rather difficult. Except number 4.

Number 4 is quite easy too as well.
If you think about this. The total amount spent in the air by the skier is the same as the time taken to slope down(starting from the horizontal position) the whole distance of 50meters.
thus distance gives =1/2 at t^2
Therefore 50=1/2 × gt^2 = 1/2 (9.8 )t^2 =50 solve for t
T= 3.2 seconds

Very easy because time only depends on gravity in this case.
this is incorrect. We are asked to find the amount of time spent in the air After the height of 50m has being transversed. I think the best approach would be to find the final velocity at the foot of the jump and use it to calculate the time used in flight.

This is the solution for question 3. A quick explanation.
Equality occurs by having equilateral triangle on the sphere and then 5 points at each vertex.

Dollyak:

Factoring the coeeficient of friction mean the net force on the skier on the ski jump parallel to the ski jump surface is a combination of the gravitation force and the frictional force,
For simplicity
F(net)= mg (sinθ -μcosθ)

The net work done on the skier as he travels down the jump is W= FL where L is the length of the jump, L=50/sinθ


By the work-energy theorem the skier launches horizontally from the bottom of the jump with a speed
v(=(2gh(1-μcotθ))^2
After the skier launches (and treating the launch point as x,y=0), the horizontal and vertical position of the skier are
and at the moment of impact, (x,y)=(0,0)
x=vt, y=-1/2 (gt)
The landing spot is on the line , so we have a system of equations we can solve for t=3.794 seconds.
v=29.919m/s check attached pictures to see how I solved for v


More detailed calculation using conservation energy. ..

Using the conservation of energy principle, the work done by friction must be equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system (h = 50m, alpha = 30°),
(1/2mv^2)-mgh=-μmgcosθ(h/sin30)
This implies
v=sqrt (2gh (1-μcot30))
During the fall, using parallel (x axis pointing 'downwards') and perpendicular (y axis pointing 'upwards') axes in respect to the hill, we can write down the variation of y with time as
y=y[size=4pt]0[/size]+vsin30t-(g cos at^2)/2)
Setting y=0 and solving for t(h'=5m)
t=vtana/g (1+sqrt (1+(2gh'/v^2 tana^2)))=3.795
of course . . . I have never even seen any of these equations before.

I termed the M.Problems as hard nuts but on a second look I realised they aint that difficult & I could attempt jus Q4 & mayB Q2. But seeing the solutions U proffered on each I was like wow thought U were just vastly political inclined, didn't know you also a math guru. Thumbs up wink
