Question
**3. Forces on an Incline:** Find the speed of the crate at the bottom given the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. Use three different approaches.

The diagram illustrates a crate on an incline with an angle of \(30.0^\circ\), with the crate initially at rest (\(\vec{v}_i = 0\)). The incline is 10 meters long. The crate slides down the incline to the bottom where its velocity is \(\vec{v}_f\).

Approaches to solve the problem:

(a) **Kinematics + Dynamics:**

   - Use the equations of motion considering the forces acting on the crate along the incline, including gravitational force, normal force, and frictional force.

(b) **Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem:**

   - Calculate the work done by all forces and relate it to the change in kinetic energy of the crate.

(c) **Conservation of Energy:**

   - Apply the principle of conservation of energy, taking into account the initial potential energy, kinetic energy at the bottom, and the energy lost due to friction.
