Homework Statement
A block slides along an elevated track. The flat part has a length L = 0.2m and the object is released from rest from height h = 0.1m. The curved portion of the track is frictionless, but the flat part is rough with a friction coefficient μk = 0.15. Where does the object finally come
to rest? *Hint: use pseudowork to account for friction.
