A snowboarder of mass 80 kg slides down the trail shown in Figure P6.10. The first part
Question:
A snowboarder of mass 80 kg slides down the trail shown in Figure P6.10. The first part of the trail is a ramp that makes an angle of 20° with the horizontal, and the final portion of the trail is flat. Find the work done by gravity on the snowboarder as she travels from the beginning to the end of this trail.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
