a block is released from rest at height d = 40 cm and slides down a frictionless ramp and onto a first plateau, which has length d and where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.50. If the block is still moving, it then slides down a second frictionless ramp through height d/2 and onto a lower plateau, which has length d/2 and where the coefficient of kinetic friction is again 0.50. If the block is still moving, it then slides up a frictionless ramp until it (momentarily) stops. Where does the block stop? If its final stop is on a plateau, state which one and give the distance L from the left edge of that plateau. If the block reaches the ramp, give the height H above the lower plateau where it momentarily stops.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. What maximum height does she reach? (a) 13 m (b) 2.3 m (c) 3.7 m (d) 0.27 m (e) The answer cant be determined because the mass of the athlete isnt given.
A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P7.68a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Fig. P7.68b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Fig. P7.68c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Fig. P7.68d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the springs unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Fig. P7.68e). Find (a) the distance of compression d, (b) the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Fig. P7.68d), and (c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

In the figure, a block is released from rest at height d = 36 cm and slides down a frictionless ramp and onto a first plateau, which has length d and where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5. If the block is still moving, it then slides down a second frictionless ramp through height d/2 and onto a lower plateau, which has length d/2 and where the coefficient of kinetic friction is again 0.5.

A 3 kg block travels along a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.28 at a speed of 7 m/s. After sliding a distance of 1.4 m the block makes a smooth transition to a ramp with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.28. How far up the ramp does the block travelled before coming to a momentary stop.

The box is released from rest and stops at a distanced = 22.62 m from the bottom of the inclined plane along the rough horizontal surface.

The 70 kg A skier starts from a standing position from a height of 34.202 m, slides down from the inclined plane and then moves to the left in the horizontal plane. The kinetic coefficient of friction in the inclined plane is 0.25 and the friction force in the horizontal plane is 100 N. While the skier is moving in a horizontal plane, when d = 2 m, he collides with the 50 kg B skier who moves to the left at 10 m/s on the horizontal ground and they move together. Since there is no rebound after the impact, find the impulse given by skier A to skier B. (Neglect the weight of the skis.) A 34.202 m 20° B d

An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient ofkinetic friction µ between the object and the surface. The object has speed v when itreaches x=0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and thenrecoils and travels in the opposite direction. When the object reaches x=0 on its returntrip, it stops. Find k, the spring constant, in terms of µ, m, g, and v
