A baseball of mass 350 g is hit at home plate with a speed of 50 m/s. When it lands in a seat in the left-field bleachers a horizontal distance 130 m from home plate, it is moving at 30 m/s. If the ball lands 30 m above the spot where it was hit, how much work is done on it by air resistance?

Repeat the preceding problem, but this time, suppose that the work done by air resistance cannot be ignored. Let the work done by the air resistance when the skier goes from A to B along the given hilly path be —2000 J. The work done by air resistance is negative since the air resistance acts in the opposite direction to the displacement. Supposing the mass of the skier is 50 kg, what is the speed of the skier at point B ?
