You are skiing downhill in Lake Tahoe Ski Resort. You start from the height 500 m above the lake level and slide over the run that makes 30° angle with respect to horizontal. Initially your speed is zero. a) Draw a free body diagram that shows all forces that act on the skier. b) What will be your speed at the end of the run if you neglect friction between your skis and the snow? Give the answer in miles per hour. Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s², and 1 mile = 1.609 km

As a van climbs a 35 ° slope at 60 m/s, its driver falls ill and takes his foot off the accelerator pedal. The van stops after 75 m. Since the ill driver cannot use the foot brake and hand brake, the truck starts to move downhill after a moment's stop. After the van slides 40 meters downhill, the driver begins to brake. Since the braking force is 0.5W (W = weight); a- What is the kinetic friction coefficient between the road and the van? b- Calculate the total time it takes until the van comes to the point where the driver got sick while going down the hill. 35°
