Q.3. A 50.00-kg skier is at the top of a 100-m high slope. (a) Using conservation of energy principle, find the expected final velocity when the skier reaches the bottom of the slope (in absence of friction)? (b) If the final velocity of the skier at the bottom of the slope is measured to be 25 m/s (in presence of friction), find the non-conservative work lost because of friction.

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.
