Thank you for your help, I think I have it.

Sorry, I guess I skimmed over that too quickly. I read it as questions. The skier accelerates due to the vector of the gravitational force working along the slope of the hill. So the potential energy (U) of the skier is transformed to K as he moves down the slope. Kf - Ki = Uf - Ui + Efric -> Kf...

Homework Statement I'm looking to the distance (h) a ski jump should be placed from the top of the hill so that a skier with a mass of 85kg will not exceed 30.0m/s. I am given an initial velocity of 2.0m/s and the total work of frictional forces to 4000J Homework Equations How can I use total...
