The top of a descending ski slope is 50 m higher than the bottom of the slope. A 60-kg skier starts from rest and skis straight to the bottom of the slope. If 20% of the gravitational potential energy change of the skier is converted into internal energy (due to friction and air drag), how fast is the 60-kg skier traveling at the bottom of the slope? Again, represent the process with work-energy bar charts indicating the system, the initial state, and the final state.

Forces: A. A force is called conservative if: a. It has a magnitude of less than 0.9N b. It cannot be resolved into x & y components c. Only friction is a conservative force. d. The work done by the force between two points is independent of the shape of the path connecting the points. B. An object is dropped from the top of a 30.0 m tall building. Neglecting air resistance, use conservation of energy to calculate how fast it’s going just as it reaches the ground.
A mouse is on a crazy roller coaster which has five distinct phases. The mouse in his roller coaster car has a mass of 6 kg. The mouse starts the coaster by being pulled back 0.2 m into a spring with a spring constant of 1890 N/m. How much elastic potential energy does the mouse have as he starts his ride? After the spring is released, the mouse travels over the first hill, effectively coming to rest at the top. Calculate the height of the first hill? He then speeds into a valley. At the bottom of the valley 3 J of energy is lost due to friction. What is his total remaining energy after he travels through the valley? The mouse then travels over a 0.10 m hill. How fast is the mouse traveling over the hill at point D? The mouse finally makes it to the final phase of the ride, where he will race along at ground level. How fast is he traveling at point E?
