(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
<h3>
Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>
The effect of height and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)
¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)
v² - u² = -2ghf
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- v is the final velocity at upper level
- u is the initial velocity
- hf is final height
- g is acceleration due to gravity
when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,
when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0
Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
<h3>Final speed</h3>
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
- g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
- v is final speed
- hf is equal height
Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;
5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s
Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

Hey! So referring to the data the thing we can clearly see is that in a vacuum, everything, regardless of its mass, falls at the same speed.
Acceleration is often confused with speed, or velocity, but the difference is, acceleration by definition is the rate of which an object falls with respect to its mass and time.
Every single thing in the world falls at the same acceleration, this is because of gravity. The difference is the speed of which it falls. In space, there is not any gravity, and so, the objects are able to fall at the same speed regardless of their mass.
Explanation:
You need two, maybe three things - something that's vibrating, a medium for those vibrations to propagate in, and a listener to hear it or recording equipment to pick it up

Answer:
That is not true all objects fall at the same speed excepts things like feathers or paper.
