A61 kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 1200 m long trail which drops a total of 227 m from top to bottom. at the bottom, the skier is moving 11 m/s. how much energy was dissipated by friction?

energy dissipated = 132 kJ

Explanation:

mass = 61 kg

height drop = 227 m

velocity = 11 m/s

potential energy due to height drop from top to bottom

                         P.E. =  m g h

                         P.E. =  61× 9.8× 227

                         P.E. = 135,700 J

kinetic energy =

                        =

                        = 3690.5 J

energy dissipated = P.E - K.E.

                              = 135,700 J -3690.5 J

                              =132,009.5 J = 132 kJ

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
