A 10 kilogram block is set in motion up a 20o inclined plane with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. With no extra forces applied, the block comes to rest after traveling some distance up the plane.
Find what is the change in kinetic energy of the block?
Find the change in gravitational potential energy of the block.
Suppose the interface between the plane and the block is frictionless, compute the distance up the surface of the plane the block will travel.
If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is 0.10, compute the distance up the surface of the plane the block will travel.
