Question:

A skier with a mass of 83 kg has a speed of 11.1 m/s on a hilltop. The skier then goes down the hill with a vertical drop of 10.1 meters. What is the skier's kinetic energy on top of the hill? What is the skier's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill?

A skier with a mass of 83 kg has a speed of 11.1 m/s on a hilltop. The skier then goes down the hill with a vertical drop of 10.1 meters. What is the skier's kinetic energy on top of the hill? What is the skier's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill? How fast is the skier moving after reaching the bottom of the vertical drop? How much work did gravity do on the skier as the skier went down the hill?
