A 50 kg block is on a 30 degree incline. The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is 0.05. If it is given an initial velocity of 10 m/s up the incline, how far will it travel until it stops?

Answer 1

Try using (Intitial kinetic energy) = (potential energy gain) + (work done against friction). Solve for the distance it travels along the ramp.

The mass will cancel out. It really doesnt matter what it is. The angle does matter
