What type of energy is a skier poised to take off at the top of a hill?
Kinetic Energy
What type of energy is A skier at the top of a mountain?
kinetic energy
When does a skier the greatest kinetic energy?
before they go down the incline.
What happens to that energy after that skier races down the slope of the mountain?
It's because of kinetic energy
When does the skier have the greatest potential energy?
Just standing there, a skier on the top of the mountain has potential energy. If she uses her poles to push-pull before taking off, she's building up a small amount of kinetic energy. If a skier is then moving down the mountain, his movement downward is kinetic energy which increases as his speed increases. If he or she collides with an immovable object while skiing, kinetic energy abruptly ends. If he or she takes off from the top of the mountain and an avalanche happens to hit at the same time, the kinetic energy of the avalanche engulfs the skier and overpowers the lower kinetic energy of the skier. The skier and avalanche become as if one in the kinetic force of the avalanche--until the skier collides with something or is buried, and thus is separated from the avalanche's kinetic energy which continues until the avalanche stops.
What is the energy acting on a skier at the top of the hill and ib the bottom?
Potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom.
A skier slides horizontally along the snow for a distance of 21 meters before coming to rest The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.050 how fast was the skier going?
For the skier to come to rest, it has to lose all its kinetic energy. Ignoring the drag force caused by air, kinetic energy is strictly lost through friction with the snow. The kinetic friction force Fk is mu, the kinetic friction coefficient, times the normal to the surface, in that case the total weight M*g of the skier. The total work the friction does against the skier is thus Fk times x, where x is the distance over which the friction force acted. Remembering the formula for kinetic energy, the principle of energy conservation thus dictates the following equality : 1/2*M*v^2 = mu*M*g*x We see the total mass of the skier becomes irrelevent since it cancels out of the right and left hand side of the equality. Therefore, the speed at which the skier was going before starting to slow down is v = sqrt(2*mu*g*x) and since mu = 0.050 g = 9.81 m/s^2 x = 21 m then v = 4.539 m/s, which is equivalent to 16.332 km/h once you multiply by 3.6 km/h per m/s.
How does a skier gliding down a hill illustrate the conservation of energy?
At the top of the hill, the skier possesses potential energy. As he travels down the hill, his potential energy is converted into his kinetic energy. Conservation of energy says that the skiers potential energy equals his kinetic energy further downslope (plus a little lost to heat from friction).
What does kind of energy does a skier traveling downhill have?
Half way down the slope, the skier has kinetic energy and potential energy. At the top of the slope, before he starts moving, he only has potential energy. At the bottom of the slope, he has only kinetic energy. This is an extremely simplified explanation, but it's probably the answer that your teacher is looking for. Hope that helps.
