At the bottom of a slope, a skier and equipment have a total mass of 75 kg and a speed of 8.0 m/s. The skier glides up the slope and comes to rest after gaining a vertical height of 2.6 m. Use g=10 N/kgg=10\ \mathrm{N/kg}g=10 N/kg.
Calculate the energy transferred to thermal stores of the surroundings as the skier moves up the slope.
