All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.
So we solve for v:
m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,
g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,
2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v
√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:
v=9.9 m/s.
So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.
