Chapter 8, Problem 92P
A volcanic ash flow is moving across horizontal ground when it encounters a 10° upslope. The front of the flow then travels 920 m up the slope before stopping. Assume that the gases entrapped in the flow lift the flow and thus make the frictional force from the ground negligible; assume also that the mechanical energy of the front of the flow is conserved. What was the initial speed of the front of the flow?

At a bottled water plant, water with a density of 1.00 g/ml passes through a pumping station where it is raised vertically by 5.00 m at the rate of 1,910,000 liters per day. The liquid enters and leaves the pumping station at the same speed and through pipes of equal diameter.

Then the glider comes back down the track to its starting point. Now the experiment is repeated with the same original speed but with a second identical glider set on top of the first. The airflow from the track is strong enough to support the stacked pair of gliders so that the combination moves over the track with negligible friction.
