Question
A 100-kg man is skiing across level ground at a speed of 14 m/s when he comes to the small slope 1.8 m higher
than ground level shown in the following figure.
-8.0 m-
1.8 m
a. If the skier coasts up the hill, what is his speed when he reaches the top plateau? Assume friction
between the snow and skis is negligible.
m/s
b. What is his speed when he reaches the upper level if an 80-N frictional force acts on the skis?
m/s
