Question
A 101-kg man is skiing across level ground at a speed of 9.5 m/s when he comes to the small slope 1.8 m higher than ground level shown in the following figure.
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.
b. What is his speed when he reaches the upper level if an 80-N frictional force acts on the skis?

Suppose you lift a 15 kg box by a height of 1.0 m. How much work do you do in lifting the box? Express your answer using two significant figures. B. Instead of lifting the box straight up, suppose you push it up a 1.0-m-high ramp that makes a 30 ∘ degree angle with the horizontal, as shown in (Figure 1). Being clever, you choose a ramp with no friction. How much force is required to push the box straight up the slope at a constant speed? Express your answer using two significant figures. C. How long is the ramp? Express your answer using two significant figures. D. Use your force and distance results to calculate the work you do in pushing the box up the ramp.
