A 3 kg block travels along a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.28 at a speed of 7 m/s.  After sliding a distance of 1.4 m the block makes a smooth transition to a ramp with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.28.  How far up the ramp does the block travelled before coming to a momentary stop.
A block resting on a plane is connected by a cable to another block as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 200 N block and the inclined plane is 0.10 while the friction between the cable and the surface maybe neglected. The system is initially at rest and then released. Determine the distance traveled by the system.
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.42 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
