In a downhill ski race, your final velocity is not affected very much by getting a running start, because the initial kinetic energy is compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy on even small hillsHowever, you will finish the race much faster (which is more important ) To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 82.5 m along a slope that is 19 degrees measured from horizontal , in the following situations (you may neglect friction ) A find the final speed in m/s lf the skier starting from rest B how long (in s) does it take for the skier to reach the bottom of this hill starting from rest C find the final speed in (m/s) of the skier with speed of 2.50 m/s D how long in (s) does it take for the skier to reach the bottom of this hill with a starting speed of 2.50 m/s
