Question

While skiing in Jackson, Wyoming, your friend Ben (of mass 63.2 kg) started his de- scent down the bunny run, 11.5 m above the bottom of the run. If he started at rest and converted all of his gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, what is Ben's kinetic energy at the bottom of the bunny run? Use g = 9.8 m/s² Answer in units of J.- answer :7100J part 2 of 2 What is his final velocity? Answer in units of m/s.​

Answer 1

12.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final velocity of Ben, we can use the equation KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE is the kinetic energy and m is the mass of Ben. Inserting the given values, we get:

7100 = 1/2 (63.2 kg) v^2

Therefore, v^2 = 7100/31.6

v = √(7100/31.6)

v = 12.3 m/s
