- A penguin slides down an icy incline on his stomach, as shown in the diagram below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the incline and the penguin's stomach is 0.15. The angle of the incline is 0 = 25 degrees. The total distance down the incline is 25 meters. The penguin gets a running start so his speed is 2.5 m/s when he begins to slide down the incline. What is the penguin's speed when he reaches the bottom of the incline? Hint: use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the acceleration of the penguin on the incline, then use kinematic equations to calculate the speed of the penguin when he reaches the bottom. 2.5 m/s 25 m 25°arrow_forwardA luggage handler pulls a 15 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at an angle 33⁰ above the horizontal by a horizontal force F of magnitude 180 N.

Starting from rest, each cube moves down through a net vertical distance of h = 1.50 m and leaves the bottom end of the track at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. At the highest point of its subsequent trajectory, the cube strikes a vertical wall and rebounds with half the speed it had upon impact. If 25 cubes strike the wall per second, what average force is exerted upon the wall?
