Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total change in elevation of the skier is its acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.
Acceleration = Velocity/Time
Given velocity of the skier = 14feet/sec
Time taken = 8secs
Acceleration of the skier = 14/8
Acceleration of the skier = 1.75ft/s²
Hence the total change in elevation after 8 seconds is 1.75ft/s²
