6.
A 59.0kg snowboarder descends a 1.30km ski
y
hill from the top of a mountain to the base (see
diagram). The slope is at an angle of 14.0° to the
horizontal. Determine the snowboarder's
1.3 km
gravitational potential energy relative to the
0 = 14°
mountain base when she is at the top. Determine
Drawing not to scale
the energy loss due to friction if the snowboarder has a final speed of 13.5m/s at
the mountain base. What will be the average coefficient of kinetic friction?
Answer: The total gravitational potential energy was 182kJ, or 1.82×10°J.The
amount of energy loss was 177kJ, or 1.77×10'J. As a result, the
average coefficient of kinetic friction will be approximately 1.00.
