Gayle runs at a speed of 4.70 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 18.0 m? Gayle's mass is 50.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.00 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s

A 51.2 kg sled coasts down a hill, starting from rest. The hill is inclined at an angle of 20.8 degrees with respect to the horizontal and has a height of 7.25 m. The sled's blades have recently been greased so that the sled slides down the hill without friction. What is the final speed of the sled (in m/s) just as it reaches the bottom of the hill? Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
You set up a ramp as depicted to practice your skateboard skills. The ramp is a wooden board L=8.0 m long and is propped up between the ground level at one end and h=1.3 m at the other end. You approach the ramp from the left (lower ground) at 11 m/s. How fast are you once you get past the ramp (higher ground)? Assume your mass is 105 kg and friction is negligible.
A 6 kg block, initially moving 4 m/s, slides 2.5 m down a ramp that is inclined 20 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of friction is 0.3. How fast is the block moving after 2.5 m?
A crane lifts a 10 kg crate using a constant upward force of 500 N. The crate started on the ground at rest and ended up 10m10m above the ground. The final speed of the crate is
An object of mass ?=8.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of ?⃗=(3 N)?̂+(4 N)?̂. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
A 108 kg crate slides down a ramp, starting from rest. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 36.4 degrees with respect to the horizontal and has a height of 1.03 m. The crate is placed on frictionless casters so that it slides down the ramp without friction. What is the final speed of the crate (in m/s) just as it reaches the bottom of the ramp? Use g = 9.81 m/s².
An object with mass ? = 1.6 kg is released from rest at a height ℎ = 8 m from the top ofan inclined plane. It slides down the inclined plane without friction then slides across arough surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction ?? = 0.4. What is the speed of the object after it slides 4.2meters across the rough surface?
A roller coaster cart of mass m = 241 kg starts stationary at point A, where h1 = 39.4 m and a while later is at B, where h2 = 10 m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 .What is the speed of the cart at B, ignoring the effect of friction? Answer in units of m/s.
