  1. A 100 k g skier with an initial speed of 12.0 m / s coasts up a h = 2.50 m high rise as shown in the figure. Find her kinetic energy at the top, if the coefficient friction between her skies and and the snow is 0.5. Given that the distance traveled up the incline is 10 m , g = 10 m / s 2 , cos ( 53.2 ) = 0.6 , and sin ( 53.2 ) = 0.8 A. 15000 J B. 1700 J C. 127000 J D. 17 , 000 J E. 23000 J
