Question
60.0 kg downhill skier is moving with a speed of 10.0 m/s as she starts her descent from a level plateau at 150.0 meters of height above the base of the slope below. The length of the slope is 650 meters. There is a frictional force of 70 N affecting the skier’s motion while she coasts the entire descent without using her poles. Upon reaching the bottom she continues to coast to a stop. How much kinetic energy will she have at the bottom of the hill?

Answer:
She will have kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill=45700 J
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass, m=60 kg
Speed, v=10 m/s
Height, h=150 m
Length of slope, d=650 m
Frictional force, f=70 N
We have to find the kinetic energy she will have at the bottom of the hill.
Kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill
=Initial kinetic energy+ mgh-fd
Substitute the values
Kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill
=
=
Hence, she will have kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill=45700 J
