When you convet km to miles this is what you get
1.18061
Given parameters:
Displacement = 8km
Velocity = 3.8km/h
Unknown:
time = ?
Solution:
Velocity is displacement divided by time.
Velocity = 
Displacement = velocity x time
Input the parameters:
8 = 3.8 x time
Time = 
= 2.1s
The time taken is 2.1s
Answer:
1270 J
Explanation:
Recall that the mechanical energy of a system is the addition of the Potential energy and the Kinetic energy at any given time.
As the skier descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, but the total mechanical energy should remain the same.
We see that it is not the case, so that difference is what has gone into thermal energy; 19500 J - 18230 J = 1270 J
Acceleration due to gravity will be constant, but the speed can change.
