Energy, work and power — practice question

A skier goes from the foot of a ski slope up to the summit and gains $10000\ \text{J}$ of gravitational potential energy. She then skis back down the slope. When she reaches the bottom, her kinetic energy is $2000\ \text{J}$. How much energy is dissipated in overcoming friction and air resistance as the skier moves down the slope?

  • A$2000\ \text{J}$
  • B$8000\ \text{J}$
  • C$10000\ \text{J}$
  • D$12000\ \text{J}$
