A ski jumper starts from rest from point A at the top of a hill that is a height h1above point B at
the bottom of the hill. The skier and skis have a combined mass of 80 kg. The skier slides down
the hill and then up a ramp and is launched into the air at point that is a height of 10 m above
the ground. The skier reaches point traveling at 42
(a) Calculate the height hi.
Please respond on separate paper, following directions from your teacher.
(b) Calculate the speed of the skier as the skier reaches point B.
(c) is the work done by the gravitational force on the skier as the skier slides from point A to
point B positive or negative?
