A 1500 kg car starts from rest at the top of the driveway that is sloped at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. An average friction force of 3500 N impedes the car’s motion so that car’s speed at the bottom of the driveway is 4.2 m/s. What is the length of the driveway?
A dog with a mass of 57.0 kg slides down a wet slope with negligible friction. The dog starts from rest and has a speed of 3.90 m/s at the bottom. What is the height of the slope (in m)?
A cyclist coasts up a 10.9° slope, traveling 15.0
m along the road to the top of the hill. If the
cyclist's initial speed is 8.90 m/s, what is the
final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance.
