A block is released from rest at point A and slides down a curved slope to point B, then continues until it comes to rest at point C. There is no friction from point A to point B, but there is friction from point B to point C. It stops in a time t as it travels from B to C. The vertical height of A is h above point B, and point C is horizontal distance x from point B.
a)Write an expression for the speed of the block vB at point B. Your answer should be in terms of x and t. (Use equations of one-dimensional kinematics.)
b)Write an expression for h. Your answer should be in terms of x, t, and g (9.80 m/s2). (Apply the work-energy theorem to the block’s motion from A to B.)
The sledder shown in the figure starts from the top of a frictionless hill and slides down into the valley. Suppose that h1 = 4.2 m and h2 = 5.9 m .
What initial speed vi does the sledder need to just make it over the next hill?Express your answer with the appropriate units.
a 32.3 kg child starting from rest slides down a water slide with a verticle height of 13.5 m. What is the childs speed halfway down the slides vertical distance? What is the childs speed three-fourths of the way down?
