A car moving at 18.2 m/s starts to coast up a frictionless hill that is inclined at 10.0 degrees. How far does the car travel before it comes to a complete stop ?

Step 1
The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass of the car and v is its velocity. However, we don't know the mass of the car. But we do know that the car will stop when all its kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy. The Show more…

A car traveling at 19.0 m/s runs out of gas while traveling up a 25.0 ∘ slope. How far up the hill will it coast before starting to roll back down? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Your car rolls along a level street at $50 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$, in neutral and without braking. If the coefficient of rolling friction is $0.023,$ how far will the car coast before stopping?
A car is coasting along at 15 m/s and then goes up a hill where it decelerates at 2 m/s2. How far up the incline does the car come to rest? How long does it take to come to rest?
