(a) Is mechanical energy conserved in this problem?
no
V₁
A 70.0-kg skier with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s coasts up a 2.50-m-high rise as shown in the figure.
The coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.070. Hint: find the distance traveled up
the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.
Think & Prepare
1. Make note of what's given and what's unknown. Relate known quantities to symbols.
2. Draw a labeled sketch if possible.
3. Identify the physics principle and approach. Write down relevant equations symbolically. Simplify if
possible.
4. Insert numerical quantities to solve for unknowns.
5. Does the answer make sense?
zero
(b) The change in mechanical energy equals
work done by friction.
35°
V₁ = ?
2.5 m
O increase in PE.
Use (b) to set-up a mathematical equation between change in mechanical energy and work done
by friction
