Homework Statement A 36kg girl slides down a slide that is 4.5m long. At the bottom of slide she is moving at 3 m/sec. If slide is inclined at 35 degrees find the coefficient of friction between slide and girl. Homework Equations Ff = μ*Force normal Total energy = KE + PE KE =...

Homework Statement A 6kg block is released from the top of a 1.0m ramp (frictionless) and slides into a horizontal spring, compressing it 45 cm. Determine the spring constant. Homework Equations PEg = mgh (6*9.8*1) = 58.8 PEs = 1/2kx^2 (1/2*k*.45^2) The Attempt at a...
