Gayle runs at a speed of 4.60 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 18.0 m? Gayle's mass is 50.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.00 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.

A girl on a sled coasts down a hill. Her speed is 6.0 m/s when she reaches level ground at the bottom. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled's runners and the hard, icy snow is 0.052, and the girl and sled together weigh 688 N. How far does the sled travel on the level ground before coming to rest?

A.) You are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 90.1 kg, and the mass of the sled when empty is 19.1 kg. From shore, someone throws a baseball of mass 0.147 kg to you, and you catch it; the horizontal component of the ball s velocity is 30.8 m/s. What will be the sled s (and your) speed with respect to the surface of the pond after...
