A toboggan approaches a snowy hill moving at 15.0 m/s. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the snow and the toboggan are 0.460 and 0.350, respectively, and the hill slopes upward at 41.0° above the horizontal. Find the acceleration of the toboggan as it is going up hill, and find the acceleration after it has reached the highest point and is sliding down hill.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
