A block with a mass of 4.0 kg is released from rest and slides down a long, smooth ramp. The incline of the ramp is 46.0 degrees, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ=0.346.
How far will the block travel in 1.00 s, assuming it does not reach the end of the ramp?
A mass m slides up an incline (with = 32.1 degrees above the horizontal) until it stops momentarily because of friction. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and incline is 0.9; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and incline is 0.4. At a given instant, the mass is moving with speed of 4.3 m/s up the incline. How far beyond this point along the incline will the mass move before it comes to a stop?
