A skiier starts from rest and skis down a snowy hill. At the bottom of the hill, the skier is traveling 17 m/s south. Instead of snowplowing to a stop, the skiier elects to continue going south at 17 m/s and up the next snowy hill. How much vertical height does the skiier achieve while climbing the next southerly hill before coming to a final stop? 14.7 m 0.87m 29.5 m cannot be determined
