Question

A 55 kg skier skis directly down a frictionless slope angled at 12° to the horizontal. Choose the positive direction of the x axis to be downhill along the slope. A wind force with component Fx acts on the skier. What is Fx if the magnitude of the skier's velocity is (a) constant, (b) increasing at a rate of 1.1 m/s2, and (c) increasing at a rate of 2.2 m/s2. Use g = 9.81 m/s2.

Step 1

First, we need to find the gravitational force acting on the skier along the slope. The gravitational force acting on the skier is given by F_gravity = m * g, where m is the mass of the skier and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…
