Chapter 7 Problem 24

Question

A \(\text { 60.0-kg }\) skier with an initial speed of \(12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) coasts up a \(2.50-\mathrm{m}\) high rise as shown in Figure \(7.40\). Find her final speed at the top, given that the coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is \(0.0800\). (Hint: Find the distance traveled up the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.)

Figure \(7.40\) The skier’s initial kinetic energy is partially used in coasting to the top of a rise.

Solution

Solution 24PE:

Step 1 of 3:-

        Here we need to find the final speed of the skier at the top.

        The mass of the skier is, .

        Initial speed was, .

        Height of the rise where she is coasting is, .

        The angle of the rise with the horizontal is, .

        The coefficient of friction is, .
