Solved: Ski Jump Ramp. You are designing a ski jump ramp
Chapter 7, Problem 7.52(choose chapter or problem)
Ski Jump Ramp. You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so they typically have a speed of as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed no higher than when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 85.0-kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 4000 J on him during his run down the ramp. What is the maximum height h for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded?
