I drew that and I came up with f parallel - force friction = ma I substituted and solved and got a=1.51 m/s I'm not sure what to do from here. I know I could use kinematics to solve but I'm trying to do it using energy. Would the equation be Potential gravitational energy - work of friction =...

Homework Statement In a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 4 m/s up a 20 degree inclined track. The combined mass of monkey and sled is 20 kg and the coefficient of friction between the sled and incline is .20. How far up the incline do the...
