I see. Didn't even think to use kinematics.

Can anybody comment on whether or not this looks correct?

I believe I've solved it using energy. Here's what I did (My main equation is in bold): Work (nonconservative) = (KE(f) + PE(f)) - (KE(i) + PE(i)) Work = F*Delta x Substituting the latter into the former and getting rid of things that will be zero, I get: Force*Delta x = (mgh(f)) -...

I was thinking about using (mgh + .5mv^2)initial = (mgh + .5mv^2)final, but I thought this is only true for conservative forces.

[SOLVED] Object Traveling Up an Inclined Plane Homework Statement In a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 2.0 m/s up a 19.0° inclined track. The combined mass of monkey and sled is 16 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between...
