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.
i

d →
i

●)
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?
