Question
A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 42.0°. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.70 m/s up the incline. 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 vi. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment.
(a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline.
(b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled.

- You are driving your car on a straight road with a coefficient of friction between the tires and the road of 0.55. A large piece of debris falls in front of your view and you immediate slam on the brakes, leaving a skid mark of 30.5 m (100-feet) long before coming to a stop. A policeman sees your car stopped on the road, looks at the skid mark, and gives you a ticket for traveling over the 13.4 m/s (30 mph) speedlimit. Draw the FBD of the car with complete details.arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. In the figure a block slides along a path that is without friction until the block reaches the section of length L = 0.66 m, which begins at height h = 1.1 m, on a ramp of angle 0 = 32°. In that section the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.410. The block passes through point A with a speed of 8.4 m/s. If the block can reach point B (where the friction ends), what is its speed there, and if it cannot, what is its greatest height above A?
