You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so they typically have a speed of 1.8 m/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more than 28.0 m/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for a 75kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 3500 J on him during his run down the slope. What is the maximum height (h) for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded?

Apositive rod is placed to the left of sphere a, and the spheres are separated. which best describes the spheres? sphere a is negative and sphere b is positive because protons from sphere a are attracted to the rod and move to sphere b. sphere a is negative and sphere b is positive because electrons from sphere b are attracted to the rod and move to sphere a. sphere a is positive and sphere b is negative because electrons from the rod move to sphere b and protons then move to sphere a. sphere a is positive and sphere b is negative because protons move from sphere b to the rod and also to sphere a.
