To test a slide at an amusement park, a block of wood with mass 3.00 kg is released at the top of the slide and slides down to the horizontal section at the end, a vertical distance of 23.0 mm below the starting point. The block flies off the ramp in a horizontal direction and then lands on the ground after traveling through the air 30.0 mm horizontally and 40.0 mm downward. Neglect air resistance.

How much work does friction do on the block as it slides down the ramp?

A block of mass 19.6 kg starts at rest at the top of a frictionless ramp that makes an angle of 36.2 ^\circ ∘ below the horizontal. After it slides without friction down the entire 2.89 m length of the ramp, it begins to slide horizontally along a rough concrete surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of \mu_kμ k = 0.503 until it slows to a complete stop. How far does the block slide horizontally along the concrete before...

A 1.55-kg block is launched by a spring and slides along a ramp as shown. The spring has a spring constant of 1180 N/m and is compressed a distance, x, before being released. The block slides up a frictionless ramp of height, H=0.550 m, above where the block leaves the spring. At the top of the ramp it flies horizontally off the ramp. Just before leaving the ramp, the kinetic energy of the block is 8.54 J. After leaving the...

A 4.25 kg block is projected at 5.40 m/s up a plane that is inclined at 30.0° with the horizontal. The block slides some distance up the incline, stops turns around and slides back down to the bottom. When it reaches the bottom of the incline again, it is traveling with a speed of 3.80 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.500, how far up the incline did the block slide?
