When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed v,. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (b) Determine, in m/s, the initial speed of the second sled.

When a body slides down an inclined plane, does the work of friction depend on the body’s initial speed? Answer the same question for a body sliding down a curved surface.
A 2 kg object is released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of an 39.1 angle. Given the length of the base of the incline of 2.97 m, the speed (m/s) of the object at the bottom of the incline is:
A cyclist coasts up a 10.0 degree slope, traveling 20.0 m along the road to the top of the hill. If the cyclist’s ini- tial speed is 9.00 m/s, what is the final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance
A skier leaves the top of a slope with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 13 m/s. What is the height of the slope?
A cyclist coasts up a 10.7 degrees slope, traveling 24.0 m along the road to the top of the hill. If the cyclist's initial speed is 9.70 m/s, what is the final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance.
The skateboarder starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 6.3 ft/s. If nonconservative forces, such as kinetic friction and air resistance, are negligible, what would be the height "h" of the highest point (in meters) reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp?
A 20 kg crate travels along a smooth slope of y = (1/8)x^3/2 . If at a point its speed is 25 m/sec where x = 18m, determine the normal force exerted by the slope to the crate. Also, what is its acceleration.
A horizontal force is applied to an object weighing 392 N that causes its speed to increase uniformly from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 3 seconds. If we disregard the friction value, calculate the applied force
Given: A bowling ball is dropped from the top of a building that has a height of h = 101 m. Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? If drag produces an opposing force of 10 N while the ball's falling, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? Assume the ball has a mass of 5 kg. A different ball was dropped and the final speed was measured to be vf = 6.5 m/s while the drag force was measured to be 50 Newtons. What is the mass of this ball in kg?
A block moves on an inclined surface with an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. After sliding down the incline of distance of L=2 m, the speed of the block is 2.2 m/s. the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.34. find the angle of the incline
