Question
A 60.0 kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 1500.0 m long trail which drops a total of
230.0 m from top to bottom. At the bottom, the skier is moving 12.0 m/s. Calculate the
energy dissipated by friction. [Given coefficient of kinetic friction of snow = 0.03]

- A skier, starting from rest, moves from the top of a ramp to the bottom. If the vertical drop is 3.12 meters, what is the speed in m/s of the skateboarder at the bottom of the ramp. (neglect friction). Can you help with a visual aid; and then, explain the mechanics of calculation.arrow_forwardA block slides along a track with an initial velocity vo = 7.0 m/s from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The difference h from the initial position to the elevated track is 0.89 m. The track is frictionless until reaches the top. There (at the top), a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.60. Find the distance d.arrow_forwardIn a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 5.14 m/s up a 22.1∘∘ inclined track.
