Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Explain why the skater must be at a specific height at the start to successfully reach the end of the ramp.
Be sure to use the terms "potential energy" and "kinetic energy" in your answer.

Answer 1

If you are a bigger person you go down faster and there's more weight down on the skateboard if you are a tiny person you will go down fast but there will be less kinetic energy then potential which means it will be easier to fall off

Answer 2

Basically, because the skater will never use some kind of a boost, they will rely purely on forces. At the top of a slope, their kinetic E is zero, and their Potential E is as high as it will be.

The skater will not be able to ever get higher that the initial height without some kind of force helping it.
