In the figure, a 3.7 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 7.2 m/s, the height difference is h = 1.2 m, and Hg = 0.579. Find d. μ= 0- Number Units
A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.632 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing.

A 52 kg skier starts from rest at height H = 17 m above the end of a ski-jump ramp (see the figure). As the skier leaves the ramp, his velocity makes an angle of 0 = 25° with the horizontal.

Your answer is partially correct. In the figure a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the section of length L = 0.66 m, which begins at height h = 1.1 m, on a ramp of angle 0 = 32°. In that section the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.410. The block passes through point A with a speed of 8.4 m/s. If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A? Number i 8 6.46 Unit m/s
A block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height h; of 14.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. 01 = 43.3° 02 = 19.5° How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline of the ramp? distance traveled along second ramp: m After the block comes to a complete stop on the second ramp, it will then begin moving back down the second ramp. What is the speed of the block when it is 9.25 m, vertically, above the ground? speed of the block: m/s
