The potential energy of the skier at the top is
60 kg (9.81 m/s2) (10 m) = 5886 J

Her kinetic energy at the bottom is
(1/2) (60 kg) (10 m/s)^2 = 3000 J

The energy lost to friction is
5886 J - 3000 J = 2886 J

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s^2. How long will it take for that object to reach 3400m ?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
a= 34 m/s^2
Vi = 0 m/s
d = 3400m

Vf = 480.83 m/s

a=v/t
t=v/a
t=480.83/34
t=14.142 s
