A child and a sled with a combined mass of 50.0 kg slide down a frictionless slope. If the sled starts from rest and has a speed of 3.00 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at the bottom, what is the height of the hill?

Step 1
0 kg - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s - Final velocity (v) = 3.00 m/s - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s^2 Show more…

During a rockslide, a 520 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 500 $\mathrm{m}$ long and 300 $\mathrm{m}$ high. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the hill surface is 0.25 . (a) If the gravitational potential energy $U$ of the rock-Earth system is zero at the bottom of the hill, what is the value of $U$ just before the slide? (b) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy during the slide? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the rock as it reaches the bottom of the hill? (d) What is its speed then?
