A snowboarder takes speed downhill in order to get up a hill without pushing. If he arrives at the bottom of the hill with a velocity of 60 km/h, will he be able to get up a hill 75 m long with an 8% slope? (Kinetic friction coefficient: snowboard-snow = 0.1 and air resistance is neglected). (Hint: a 1% slope rises 1 m vertically for every 100 m of lateral travel.)
