The hill is frictionless, but when the block reaches the horizontal track, there is a coefficient of friction, µ. The block slides along the track for a distance L and comes to a stop. For this motion air resistance can be ignored. We will take the origin of the coordinate system to be at A, with x being the horizontal coordinate with positive to the right, and y being the vertical coordinate with positive up. We will choose our system to include the block, the hill, the surface with friction, and the Earth. The parameters of the problem are those shown in the figure: m, g, µu, d1, L, dɔ, h, and 0. Also, the block has a speed vp at point B at the bottom of the hill.
