Question 6

A skier starts from rest on one side of a valley and moves down a smooth slope to a short strip of rough snow. The skier crosses the strip and moves up a second smooth slope, coming to rest at a vertical height of 0.648 m above the strip. Friction acts only on the rough strip, and air resistance is negligible. The ratio of the skier's speed immediately after crossing the strip to the speed immediately before reaching it is 0.60:10.60:10.60:1. Which of the following is the skier's starting vertical height above the strip?
