Question: You are in a sled with total mass of 80.0 kg. The sled starts from rest 10.0 meters up a frictionless ramp inclined at 40.0

1.) Calculate the Gravitational Potential Energy (PEG) at the top of the ramp.

2.) The PEG has now been converted to Kinetic Energy at the bottom of the ramp. The sled skids on gravel with coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.875.
