A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 30.0°. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.30 m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed v₁. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline. m (b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled. m/s

A block of mass 5 kg start to slide down a frictionless plane having an inclination of 25 degrees from rest at the top. The length of the incline is 2 meters. Find the acceleration of the block and its speed when it reaches the bottom of the incline. Take g=10m/s2
Rank these throws based on the maximum height reached by the ball.
Two cars start from rest at the origin at t=0. The first has a known, constant acceleration k. The second has a weird engine that increases its power so that the car has an increasing acceleration given by at2, with α a known constant. When will the two cars again be at the same point? Where will they be when they are at the same point?
A block slides down an inclined plane of slope angle θ with constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed v0. How far up the incline will it move before coming to rest? Will it slide down again?
A block with mass m = 14.9 kg slides down an inclined plane of slope angle 18.8o with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed 2.95 m/s. How far up the incline will the block move before coming to rest?
Multiple-Concept Example 5 reviews many of the concepts that play a role in this problem. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 32.5° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.244. She coasts for a distance of 12.3 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.67 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands? Number i eTextbook and Media Save for Later Units Attempts: 0 of 5 used Submit Answer
