All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s.

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

What conventions are used in SI to indicate units

klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k
