A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end of a jump ramp at a speed of 17.0 m/s. As the drawing indicates, the skier has a speed of 12.0 m/s at the highest point of the jump. Ignoring air resistance, determine the skier's height H above the top of the ramp at the highest point.

    A water-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates. A 61.3-kg water-skier has an initial speed of 5.5 m/s. Later, the speed increases to 11.3 m/s. Determine the work done by the net external force acting on the skier.

    A skier specialized in the jump mode, descends on a ramp, which we will assume an inclined plane that forms 23 degrees with the horizontal and 150 m long. The lower end of the ramp is 14m above the horizontal ground. ignoring friction and assuming you are resting, calculate: a) the speed you will have when leaving the ramp b) the distance it travels in the air before reaching the ground
