Question
A 102 kg man is skiing across level ground at a speed of 9.5 m/s when he comes to the small slope 1.4 m higher than ground level shown in the following figure.
(a)
If the skier coasts up the hill, what is his speed (in m/s) when he reaches the top plateau? Assume friction between the snow and skis is negligible.
m/s
(b)
What is his speed (in m/s) when he reaches the upper level if a 60 N frictional force acts on the skis?
m/s

Transcribed Image Text:### Diagram Explanation - Inclined Plane with Skier
The image depicts a skier moving up an inclined plane.
**Description:**
- Two positions of the skier are shown: one at the bottom of the incline and the other partway up the slope.
- The skier is wearing ski attire, including an orange jacket and a helmet, and is using ski poles.
**Inclined Plane Details:**
- The slope is marked with a horizontal arrow indicating a length of 8.0 meters.
- A perpendicular arrow shows the vertical height of the slope, measuring 0.75 meters.
This diagram can be used to illustrate concepts such as inclined planes in physics, demonstrating principles like gravitational force, work, and energy.
