A hiker plans to swing on a rope across a ravine in the mountains, as illustrated in the figure, where L = 4.9 m and x = 2.7 m, and to drop when she is just above the far edge. At what minimum horizontal speed should she be moving when she starts to swing(in m/s)? I tried using the...

yea its a group problem on webassign for my class edit: I figured it out, thanks for the the help. find the KE (1/2mv^2) then set it equal to PE (mgh) and solve for h. then use trig to find the distance traveled. Again, thanks for the help, and there's one other problem ill be posting in a bit.

I have the same problem, but my problem has an upward slope of 37 degrees that the objects (connected after collision) travel up. I wish i knew how to do this!

A m=1.5 kg object moving at 14 m/s collides with a stationary 2.0 kg object. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, how far along the inclined plane will the combined system travel? Neglect Friction. Any help would be appreciated
