A61 kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 1200 m long trail which drops a total of 227 m from top to bottom. at the bottom, the skier is moving 11 m/s. how much energy was dissipated by friction?

energy dissipated = 132 kJ

Explanation:

mass = 61 kg

height drop = 227 m

velocity = 11 m/s

potential energy due to height drop from top to bottom

                         P.E. =  m g h

                         P.E. =  61× 9.8× 227

                         P.E. = 135,700 J

kinetic energy =

                        =

                        = 3690.5 J

energy dissipated = P.E - K.E.

                              = 135,700 J -3690.5 J

                              =132,009.5 J = 132 kJ

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​
