A semi-trailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway truck ramp that is inclined at an angle of 11.0° above the horizontal. The semi-trailer coasts to a stop after traveling 140 m along the ramp. What was the truck's initial speed? Neglect air resistance and friction.
A 10kg block sits on top of a high hill h1=8m and then slides down to a 1 meter muddy flat section with a coefficient of kinetic friction uk= 0.2.The block continues up the frictionless ramp with an angle of 37 before coming a complete stop. What is the height that the block reaches on the ramp? (h2 in meters)
A cyclist coasts up a 10.7 degrees slope, traveling 24.0 m along the road to the top of the hill. If the cyclist's initial speed is 9.70 m/s, what is the final speed? Ignore friction and air resistance.
