In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 75.0 m along a 25o slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Note that this time difference can be very significant in competitive events so it is still worthwhile to get a running start.)
(a) starting from rest find the final speed in m/s and the time taken in seconds
(b) starting with an initial speed of 2.00 m/s find the final speed in m/s and the time taken in seconds
