The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:

where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and

is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is

where

and h is the height at the top of the hill.
So, since the total energy must conserve, we have

and so

from which we find the height:
To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,


Here,
m = mass
k = Spring constant
x = Displacement
v = Velocity
Rearranging to find the velocity,



Our values are,



Replacing our values we have,


Therefore the velocity is 
1) Constant speed
2) Slowing down
3) Not moving
4) Speeding up
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Solid water (ice) has a lesser density than liquid water. Hence, the statement is false.
