The skier left the hill in 6 seconds, moving with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m / s². Determine the length of the hill if it is known that at the beginning of the descent the speed of the skier was 18 km / h.

These tasks: t (duration of descent of the skier under consideration from the hill) = 6 s; a (acceleration) = 0.5 m / s2; V0 (the speed of the skier in question at the very beginning of the descent) = 18 km / h (in SI V0 = 5 m / s).

The length of the slide can be determined by the formula: L = V0 * t + 0.5 * a * t ^ 2.

Let’s perform the calculation: L = 5 * 6 + 0.5 * 0.5 * 6 ^ 2 = 39 m.

Answer: The skier in question drove down a slide 39 meters long.
