Answer:
Her velocity at the bottom of the hill is 15.61m/s and she travel up the 30° slope 24.85m
Explanation:
For simplicity purpose, we can analyze the section of the snowboarder's travel in the hill, in the horizontal surface and in the slope separately.
In the hill, we will say that the x-axis is parallel to the hill, and y-axis is perpendicular. Using geometry, we can see that the angle of the snowboarder's weight force from the y-axis is 15°. The velocity of the snowboarder will increase in the direction parallel to the hill, in a constant acceleration motion:
[tex]F_x: W_x = ma\\W*sin(15) = ma\\mg*sin(15) = ma\\a = g*sin(15) = 9.81m/s^2 * sin(15) = 2.54m/s^2[/tex]
With the acceleration, we can use the equations for constant acceleration motion:
[tex]v_f^2 - v_o^2 = 2a*d\\v_f^2 - (0m/s)^2=2*2.54m/s^2*48m\\vf = \sqrt{2*2.54m/s^2*48m}=15.61 m/s[/tex]
This would be her velocity at the bottom of the hill.
As there is no friction, she would reach the bottom of the slope with this velocity.
In the slope, the line of reasoning is similar as in the hill, with the difference that the acceleration will oppose velocity.
[tex]F_x: -W_x = ma\\-W*sin(30) = ma\\-mg*sin(30) = ma\\a = -g*sin(30) = -9.81m/s^2 * sin(30) = -4.905m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]v_f^2-v_o^2=2a*d\\d=\frac{(v_f^2-v_o^2)}{2a}=\frac{((0m/s)^2-(15.61m/s)^2)}{2(-4.905m/s^2)} = 24.85m[/tex]
The speed of the snowboarder at the bottom of the hill is 15.62 m/s.
The distance the snowboarder travel up the 30° slope is 24.9 m.
The acceleration of the snowboarder is calculated as follows;
[tex]W sin\theta - F_f = ma\\\\mgsin\theta - 0 = ma\\\\mg sin(\theta) = ma\\\\a = g(sin\theta)\\\\a = 9.8 \times sin(15)\\\\a = 2.54 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The speed of the snowboarder at the bottom of the hill is calculated as follows;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2ah\\\\v^2 = 0 + 2ah\\\\v = \sqrt{2ah} \\\\v = \sqrt{2(2.54)(48)} \\\\v = 15.62 \ m/s[/tex]
The acceleration of the snowboarder up 30° slope is calculated;
[tex]-Wsin(\theta)- F_f = ma\\\\-Wsin(\theta) -0 = ma\\\\-mgsin(\theta)= ma\\\\-gsin(\theta) = a\\\\a = -9.8 \times sin(30)\\\\a = -4.9 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The distance the snowboarder travel up the 30° slope is calculated as follows;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 - 2ah\\\\-2ah = v^2- u^2\\\\-2ah = v^2 -0\\\\-2ah = v^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{-2a} \\\\h = \frac{(15.62)^2}{-2(-4.9)} \\\\h = 24.9 \ m[/tex]
