A 54.7-kg skateboarder starts out with a speed of 1.64 m/s. He does 89.7 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against the ground. In addition, friction does -284 J of work on him. In both cases, the forces doing the work are non-conservative. The final speed of the skateboarder is 8.40 m/s. (a) Calculate the change (PEF - PEo) in the gravitational potential energy. (b) How much has the vertical height of the skater changed? Give the absolute value. (a) Number i 89.7 (b) Number -3.9 Units Units
The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. Neglect nonconservative forces, such as friction and air resistance, and find the heighth of the highest point reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp. i
