You say to yourself "Self ! Energy can't be created or destroyed.
The skier's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill is exactly the
potential energy s/he had at the top."

Potential energy at the top = (mass) (gravity) (height)

   = (65.8 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (521 m)

   = (65.8 x 9.8 x 521) kg-m²/s²

   =    335,961.6 joules .

Part-a: No energy is lost on the way down.

Kinetic energy at the bottom = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

335,961.6 joules = (1/2) (65.8 kg) (speed²)

335,961.6 joules / 32.9 kg = speed²

335,961.6 kg-m²/s² / 32.9 kg = speed²

(335,961.6 / 32.9) m²/s² = speed²

   speed = 101 m/s
___________________________________________

Part b: Energy is lost on the way down.

Just subtract the 1.4 x 10⁵ J of energy away from the 335,961.6 J
before you do the Kinetic Energy calculation at the bottom of the hill.
The skier lost that much energy on the way down, by scraping against
snow and air and stuff, so it isn't available to make speed at the bottom.

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

$\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m$

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}$ (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

$d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m$

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m
