I have a physics question...Please if you understand explain this to me....I do not want anyone to do this for me I need explanation....b/c I wil need to understand this stuff when i take teh test so please explain adn talk me through this problem....
A skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle 25 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and skis is .200. she coasts for 8.4 m before coming to the edge of a cliff.. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.80 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands?
It says that this correlates the the work energy theorem and kinetic energy ... i read the sections and example problems and still have no idea where to even begin. Please help....thank you
