- For the skater:
- At position ①: PE = 0 J, KE = 1920 J, ME = 1920 J, v = 8 m/s, h = 0 m.
- At position ②: PE = 600 J, KE = 1320 J, ME = 1920 J, v ≈ 6.63 m/s, h = 1 m.
- At position ③: PE = 1920 J, KE = 0 J, ME = 1920 J, v = 0 m/s, h = 3.2 m.
- For the ball:
- At position ①: PE = 2000 J, KE = 0 J, ME = 2000 J, v = 0 m/s, h = 4 m.
- At position ②: PE = 1500 J, KE = 500 J, ME = 2000 J, v ≈ 4.47 m/s, h = 3 m.
- At position ③: PE = 0 J, KE = 2000 J, ME = 2000 J, v ≈ 8.94 m/s, h = 0 m.
- At position ④: PE = 1100 J, KE = 900 J, ME = 2000 J, v = 6 m/s, h = 2.2 m.
