Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy


A skier (75 kg) is going down a ski slope. At 5 meters from the bottom, they have a velocity of 50 m/s. What is the Kinetic Energy at this height?

Move the choices into the correct categories on the right.
Particle motion speeds up
Particles collide less
Energy would move towards the object
Particles collide more
Energy would move away from the object
Higher Pressure
Lower pressure
Particle motion slows down
