Determine the stopping distance for a skier moving down a slope with friction with an initial speed of 19.0 m/s . Assume that θ = 5.62 deg, g=9.81 m/s2, and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the slope is 0.289. Suppose the temperature drops by 2 degrees C and the skier waxes her skis; the coefficient of kinetic friction drops to 0.173. What is now the stopping distance, for the same initial velocity?

An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 12.7 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.30 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she...

A skier is skiing down a hill on friction-less skies when he realizes there is a cliff in front of him. He skies right over the edge and lands on the valley floor. His motion has two parts: on the hill he started at rest and accelerated throughout his trip. Once he comes to the cliff edge, he goes over the side and is experiencing projectile motion through the air, until he lands. Assume the hill makes a 45 degree...
