A skier slides down a hill in a straight line. The hill is 60m high and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.1. The hill is at an angle of 10 degrees with the horizontal. The mass of the skier is 70 kg. If the skier starts her run from rest and air friction can be ignored, how fast is she moving at the bottom of the hill? Please answer in units of m/s.
A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 30.0°. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.30 m/s up the incline.

Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (a) Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline. m (b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled. m/s
A small block travels up a frictionless incline that is at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The block has speed 5.10 m/s at the bottom of the incline. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2.

A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?
