Physics

5: A skier, m = 65 kg, glides on a perfect hill, 10 m high, nofriction. However, at the bottom is a spring, k = 1500 N/m , systemto stop the skier. A silly technique I will grant you. The springis not perfect, it loses 800 J of energy every time the springfully compresses or extends. Now we will have to assume the springnever extends past its equilibrium position. A: What is the speedof the skier when they hit the spring the first time down the ramp?B: How much does the spring compress the first time the skier hitsit? C: The skier will be pushed back up the hill so the processwill continue. How many cycles (n) will occur until the skier -eventually stops?
