A 60-kg skier starts from rest from the top of a 50-m high slope. If the work done by friction is -10.0 kJ, what is the speed of the skier on reaching the bottom of the slope

Respuesta :

The speed of the skier on reaching the bottom of the slope is 25.43 m/s.

Kinetic energy of the skier on reaching the bottom of the slope

Kinetic energy on reach the bottom = P.E - 10 kJ

Kinetic energy on reach the bottom = (60)(9.8)(50) - 10 kJ

Kinetic energy on reach the bottom = 19.4 kJ = 19,400 J

Speed of the skier on reaching the bottom of the slope

K.E  = ¹/₂mv²

2K.E = mv²

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 19,400)/(60)

v² = 646.667

v = √646.667

v = 25.43 m/s.

Thus, the speed of the skier on reaching the bottom of the slope is 25.43 m/s.
