A 75-kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5 m/s and slides down a 92-m-long straight incline from an initial height 54 m and finally comes to rest after sliding horizontally a distance x. The coefficients of kinetic friction are 0.15 and 0.18 on the slope and on the horizontal surface, respectively. (a) What is his velocity at the bottom of the slope? 33.00577 X m/s (b) What is x? m

Three youths push a 40.0-kg block of ice so that it begins to coast on a frozen lake. With an initial speed Vi of 3.00 m/s, the block of ice now moves up an icy ramp at the edge of the lake. Neglecting air resistance and in the absence of any friction between the ice block and the frozen lake and ramp, use the CMEP to calculate how high up the ramp (h in the figure) the block of ice moves before stopping. As a suggestion, use the base of the ramp as GZ. 0.204 m 0.625 m 0.459 m 0.511 m 0.165 m 0.270 m O O O
