Figure shows a ski -jump. A skier of mass 60 kg stands at A at the top of the ski-jump. He moves from A to B and takes off for his jump at B.
(i) Determine the change in the gravitational potential energy of the skier between A and B.
(ii) If 75% of the energy calculated in part (i) becomes the kinetic energy at B, calculate the speed at which the skier arrives at B. (Take g=10 m s-2)
