The Figure shows a roller coaster car at rest on the track at the top of a hill that is 15 m high. The car has a mass of 10.0 kg. It begins to move and reaches 80% of maximum speed at the top of the second hill, point A, with a curvature of 6.5 metres (not height) on the track. If friction takes away 10% of total mechanical energy up to point A, calculate the height of hill A. A 15 m Ay

A box of 9kg is released from rest on a rough inclined plane and slides to the bottom. The plane is inclined at a 230 angle to the horizontal and it is 5.1 m high. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is 0.1. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed of the block as it reaches the bottom.

A skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 20.0 ° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.167. She coasts for a distance of 13.5 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Use the Work-Energy theorem to find her speed at the edge of the cliff.
5000 kg dump truck has a maximum 400 hp (1 hp= 746 W), and it is moving up on an inclined road witha slope of 15 degrees. If the frictional coefficient on the road is 0.80, what is the max constant speed that thetrucker can maintain on the inclined?
Ski Jump Ramp. You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height h from the starting gate to the bottom of the ramp. The skiers push off hard with their ski poles at the start, just above the starting gate, so they typically have a speed of 2.0 m/s as they reach the gate. For safety, the skiers should have a speed of no more than 30.0 m/s when they reach the bottom of the ramp. You determine that for an 85.0-kg skier with good form, friction and air resistance will do total work of magnitude 4000 J on him during his run down the slope. What is the maximum height h for which the maximum safe speed will not be exceeded? *Illustrate the situation with complete and correct labels.
