At a poorly-designed ski
resort, there is a flat cross-country ski trail right next to a
21-meter high curved downhill ski hill. A 100-kg man is coasting on
the cross-country trail (without friction) at a constant speed of
2.5 m/s. A woman starts from rest at the top of the downhill course
and slides (without friction) to the bottom, where she collides
with the man. The tangle of people and skis together slides away at
10 m/s. What was the mass of the woman?

Hit the Ski Slopes EXAMPLE 5.8 GOAL Combine conservation of mechanical energy with the work-energy theorem involving friction on a horizontal surface. h = 20.0 m у A skier starts PROBLEM from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height (В С) 20.0 m, as in the figure. At the bottom of the incline, the skier The skier slides down the slope and onto a level surface, stopping after encounters a horizontal traveling a...
