Question 2

An alpine skier starts from rest and glides downhill without pushing with poles. The skier's speed is 8.0 m/s at timing gate R and 12 m/s at a lower timing gate S. Friction and air resistance are negligible.

What is the ratio of the vertical distance descended between R and S to the vertical distance descended between the start and R?
