Question
A person with mass m is skateboarding across level ground on earth with a speed vo when they
come to a small slope that raises them a distance h higher than ground level over a distance d, as
shown in the figure below. A frictional force with magnitude F, is also acting on the skateboard
opposing the direction of motion as it travels up the slope.

a) Derive an expression using the defined variables (and g) for the speed of the person after
they reach the top of the slope.
b) If the person's mass m = 50 kg, their initial speed is vo = 3 m/s, the slope raises them
h = 0.4 m over a distance of d = 2 m and the magnitude of the force of friction is
F, = 2 N, what is their speed at the top of the slope?
