2. A 60 kg skier slides down a hill, and their potential energy versus horizontal position (x) is given by the graph on the right. The skier initially moves with a speed of 10 m/s at x-0 m. Ignore dissipative forces (i.e. friction and drag) for this problem. A. What is the total energy (in J) of the skier? B. How fast is the skier at the bottom of the hill? C. How fast does the skier move at x = 30 m?
