In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 6.0°. What is the sled’s speed after it has traveled the first 100 m?
A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.
A car traveling at 22 m/s runs out of gas while traveling up a 200 slope. How far up the hill will it coast before starting to roll back down? Assume that car rolls without friction.
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 block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 6.96 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 23.4°. How long does it take to get to its highest point?
A block is given an initial velocity of 5.00m/s up a frictionless incline of angle θ=20.0 0. How far up the incline does the block slide before coming to rest?
A 75-kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s at the top of a 28 degree incline. After sliding down the 110-m-long incline (on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk= 0.17), the snowboarder has attained a velocity v. The snowboarder then slides along a flat surface (on which μk= 0.14) and comes to rest after a distance x. Determine BOTH the snowboarder's acceleration on the incline AND his acceleration on the flat surface. Then, determine x.
A block is given a very brief push up a 20.0° frictionless incline to give it an initial speed of 12.0 m/s. How far along the surface of the plane does the block slide before coming to rest? How much time does it take to return to its starting position?
A particle of mass m moves along a frictionless, horizontal plane with a speed given byv(x) = a/x, where xis its distance from the origin and ais a positive constant. Find the forceF(s) to which the particle is subject.

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v_0 = 3.50 m/s. The angle of incline is 30°. How far up the plane does the block go?
A block with mass m = 14.9 kg slides down an inclined plane of slope angle 18.8o with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed 2.95 m/s. How far up the incline will the block move before coming to rest?
