Chapter 8, Problem 8.3OQ
At the bottom of an air track tilted at angle θ, a glider of mass m is given a push to make it coast a distance d up the slope as it slows clown and stops. Then the glider comes back down the track to its starting point. Now the experiment is repeated with the same original speed but with a second identical glider set on top of the first. The airflow from the track is strong enough to support the stacked pair of gliders so that the combination moves over the track with negligible friction. Static friction holds the second glider stationary relative to the first glider throughout the motion. The coefficient of static friction between the two gliders is µ,. What is the change in mechanical energy of the two-glider—Earth system in the up- and down-slope motion after the pair of gliders is released? Choose one. (a) –2µ,mg (b) —2mgd cos (c) –2µ,mgdcos θ (d) 0 (e) +2µ.,mgd cos θ

The same constant force is used to accelerate two caritos of equal masses, initially at rest on a horizontal surface without friction. The force is applied to cart A for twice as long as the duration applied to cart B. The work done on body A is WA ; and the one performed on B is WB . Which of the following statements is correct?
At what initial speed should a box of mass m be thrown parallel to the surface of the inclined plane from the lower end of an inclined plane with friction making a 30 degree angle with the horizontal direction so that it can travel 3m on the inclined plane?
