(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.
<h3>
Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>
The effect of height and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;
ΔK.E = ΔP.E
¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)
¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)
v² - u² = -2ghf
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- v is the final velocity at upper level
- u is the initial velocity
- hf is final height
- g is acceleration due to gravity
when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,
when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0
Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).
<h3>Final speed</h3>
v² = u² - 2ghf
where;
- u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
- g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
- v is final speed
- hf is equal height
Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;
5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s
Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity given by Newton's second law (which defines the weight of an object) and at the same time we will apply the Hooke relation that talks about the strength of a body in a system with spring.
The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Earth is 0.3m, then


The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Moon is a value of
, then

Recall that gravity on the moon is a sixth of Earth's gravity.




We have that the displacement at the earth was
, then


Therefore the displacement of the mass on the spring on Moon is 0.05m
