1. A 70 kg skate boarder is moving at 8 m/s on flat stretch of road.

If the skate boarder now

encounters a hill which makes an angle of 10o with the horizontal, how much further up the
road will then he be able to go without additional pushing? Ignore Friction.

KEi+Ui=KEf+Uf (only conservative forces)

KEi + 0 = 0+Uf (Ui=0 and KEf=0)

1/2mv2 = mgh

1/2v2 = gh

h = v2/(2g) = 82/(2*9.8) = 3.26 m

h/d = Sin 10o

d = 18.8 m
