A girl weighing 50 kg makes a high jump of 1.2 m.What is her kinetic energy at the highest point? (g=10ms−2)
A girl of mass 40 kg is moving with a speed 20 ms−1. What is her kinetic energy?.
The diagram given below shows a ski jump. A skier weighing 60 kgf stands at A at the top of the ski jump. He moves from A and takes off for his jump at B.
(a) Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy of the skier between A and B.
(b) If 75% of the energy in part (a) becomes kinetic energy at B, calculate the speed at which the skier arrives at B.(Take g=10 ms−2.
