Alaya designs a slide for sacks of rice to slide down, dropping from the first floor to ground level in a barn. The length of her slide is 8.5m along with an angle theta of 40 degrees from the horizontal.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide's surface is ?k=0.40 and the slide is not frictionless.
At the top of slide, the sack slides down. The sack was initially at rest. After the sack leaves from the edge, it hits the ground z = 3.6m from the end of the slide
a) Sketch the diagram
b) determine the height from the top end point of the slide to the ground.
Matthew starts from rest on top of 8.45 m high sledding hill. He slides down the 32-degree incline and across the plateau at its base. The coefficient of friction between the sled and snow is 0.128 for both the hill and the plateau. Matthew and the sled have a combined mass of 27.5 kg. Determine the distance which Matthew will slide along the level surface before coming to a complete stop.
