A62.0 kg skier is moving at 6.80 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal, snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 4.80 m long. the coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.300. after crossing the rough patch and returning to the friction-free snow, she skis down an icy, frictionless hill 2.50 m high.(a) how fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill? (b) how much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
