Answer:
h = 50.49 m
Explanation:
Data provided:
Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s
Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s
Mass of the skier, m = 85.0
Total work = 4000 J
Height from the starting gate = h
Now, from the law of conservation of energy
Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached
where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity
on substituting the values, we get
or
170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250
or
h = 50.49 m
