Answer:

h should become four times.

Explanation:

The speed at the bottom depends only on the vertical height difference from the top ... if there is no friction ... then the path you take from top to bottom doesn't matter in any way, only the difference in height between the two

mgh at top = 1/2 mv^2 at bottom, so that v=sqrt[2gh]

You see, the final velocity, v, depends on the square root of h, so double v, quadruple h, or four times higher

A force of 60 N is applied to a skier to pull him along a horizontal surface so that his speed remains constant. If the coeffici
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1200\ \text{N}

Explanation:

F = Force on the skier = 60 N

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.05

w = Weight of skier

Force is given by

F=\mu w

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{F}{\mu}

\Rightarrow w=\dfrac{60}{0.05}=\dfrac{6000}{5}

\Rightarrow w=1200\ \text{N}

Weight of the skier on which the force is being applied is 1200\ \text{N} .
