Calculating Min Work for 800kg Car on 9.0° Incline
That's all the information that was given to me... I know I'm supposed to find force by multiplying the mass and gravity...but i think the number I'm getting after i put it into the work formula is too big...- cmed07

Calculating Min Work for 800kg Car on 9.0° Incline
I have been trying this problem multiple times but it still says I'm wrong: What is the minimum work needed to push a 800 kg car 930 m up along a 9.0^\circ incline? i'm using the formula: W= Fdcos(theta) F= mg what am i doing wrong?- cmed07

How is the amount of energy dissipated by friction calculated?
I need help figuring out the equation for E : Find the amount of energy E dissipated by friction by the time the block stops. Express your answer in terms of some or all the variables m, v, and h and any appropriate constants.- cmed07
