Some sliding rocks approach the base of a hill with a speed of 17.0 m/sm/s . The hill rises at 40.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal and has coefficients of kinetic and static friction of 0.420 and 0.560, respectively, with these rocks. Start each part of your solution to this problem with a free-body diagram.
a.
Find the acceleration of the rocks as they slide up the hill.
b.
Once a rock reaches its highest point, will it stay there or slide down the hill?
c.
If it slides down, find its acceleration on the way down, else enter 0.
