(e) Draw a free-body diagram of the skier as she is sliding down the slope. Make sure you include friction, and indicate the direction of the acceleration. Use your diagram to answer the next couple of questions. (f) What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the skier? (g) Under the same assumptions as in part (d) above, what is the coefficient of friction between the skis and the snow? (h) Again under the assumption that her final speed is 30 m/s, what is the acceleration of the skier along the slope?

Friction & Forces: A 700 N skier is skiing down a 25 degree slope. The coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is ÎĽ=0.08. Draw a free body diagram illustrating all the forces acting on the skier and compute the static friction value.

Consider the skier on a slope shown in Example 4.5. Her mass including equipment is 60.0 kg. (a) What is her acceleration if friction is negligible? (b) What is her acceleration if friction is known to be 45.0 N? Question 1. A - Calculate the distance travelled by the skier in Example 4.5, part (a) in 7.73 seconds assuming she is starting from rest (use the appropriate kinematic equation). B - Calculate the speed of the skier in Example 4.5, part (b) after 6.23 seconds assuming she is starting from rest (use the appropriate kinematic equation). C - Redo Example 4.5, part (b) for a mass of the skier of 51.5 kg, an angle of the slope of 18.3°, and a force of friction of 38.7 N.
