The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 32.7 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 31.1 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Enter your answer in m.)

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 537-kg trailer is hitched to a truck. Find the work done by the truck on the trailer in each of the following cases. Assume rolling friction is negligible. a. The trailer is pulled at constant speed along a level road for 2.30 km. b. The trailer is accelerated from rest to a speed of 88.8 km/h. c. The trailer is pulled at constant speed along a road inclined at 12.5 for 2.30 km.
A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? Figure OQ5.6
Compare the work required to accelerate a car of mass 2000 kg from 30.0 to 400 km/h with that required for an acceleration from 50.0 to 60.0 km/h.
The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 34.0 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 31.5 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance.
The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 36.9 m/s and following the curved path shown. At the peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 34.7 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Enter your answer in m.) A daredevil on a motorcycle is at the end of a ramp that is sloped up to the right. An arrow parallel to the ramp's surface is above the daredevil. A dotted-line path traces the trajectory of the daredevil. The path extends up to the right, initially parallel to the surface of the ramp, and decreases in slope until it reaches a maximum, whereupon it extends down to the right with increasing slope magnitude. The vertical distance between the maximum and the highest point of the ramp is h. A horizontal arrow points to the right above the maximum. m
Swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides as shown in the figure. Although both slides drop over the same height, h, slide 1 is straight while slide 2 is curved, dropping quickly at first and then leveling out. How does the speed v1 of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 1 compares with v2, the speed of a swimmer reaching the end of slide 2?
You want the final speed at the bottom of your roller coaster hill to be 25 m/s. What is the height (h) of the hill to achieve this? Use g = 9.8 m/s2
The skateboarder in the drawing 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?
