this is what i have done so far, can u help me input where the delta h would be in the equation .5mvf ^2 + mghf = mgho .5mvf^2 = mgho - mghf mvf^2 = 2mgho - mghf vf^2 = (2mgho - mghf)/m vf = sqrt[(2mgho-mghf)/m] i hope this is right :/

mghf + .5mv^2f = mgho + (.5mv^2o == 0 because initial velocity = 0) mghf + .5mv^2f = mgho is this the correct way to set up the equation?

Thanks for all the feedback, it sounds like there are a few ways to do this problem. I'm still kind of confused with the question because I have never done like this before. Do any of you guys mind laying out how to do this problem? This is a review for my final exam, so that could be why the...

Homework Statement Santa has an unfortunate roof mishap. When he steps out of his sleigh, he realizes that there is a coating of ice on this particular roof—making it a completely frictionless surface. Starting with an initial velocity of zero, he slides down the roof (a distance of 2.50 m...
