Question

A 50-kg skier with an initial speed of 13 m/s coasts up a 2.5-m-high rise as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.09. Hint: find the distance traveled up the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.

 

(d) Find her final speed at the top.

Please answer the following question(s):

1.

A diagram shows a skier moving up a sloped incline. The skier is represented with initial kinetic energy (KEᵢ) and initial velocity (vᵢ). The incline makes a 35° angle with the horizontal. At the top of the incline, the vertical height is marked as 2.5 m, and the final velocity (v_f) is unknown.

Text beneath the diagram:
