    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.
