Question
a)Gayle runs at a speed of 3.80 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 49.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.50 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.

- When a m = 12 kg mass is on a frictionless incline of 30 degrees and takes 270 N to compress a spring 2.0 cm: The block briefly stops when the spring is compressed to 5.5 cm a) How far did it travel. I found the answer is 35 cm b) What is the speed of the 12 kg block as it touches the spring? How do I do part b? I got the spring constant k = 13500 and used 1/2 kx^2 to find how many joules it has at compressing the spring to 5.5 cm. When I set that equal to 1/2 mv^2 I did not get the right answer.

Ignore friction and air resistance. __________ marrow_forwardA block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height h; of 14.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. 01 = 43.3° 02 = 19.5° How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline of the ramp? distance traveled along second ramp: m After the block comes to a complete stop on the second ramp, it will then begin moving back down the second ramp.
