AI Thread Summary
A toboggan weighing 100 N is pushed up a hill with an initial speed of 6.0 m/s at a 32° incline. The discussion focuses on calculating how far the toboggan will slide down the hill, considering a sliding friction coefficient of 0.15. Participants are encouraged to share their calculations and identify where they may be facing challenges. The conversation emphasizes the importance of showing initial work to facilitate assistance. The goal is to determine the total distance the toboggan will travel along the snowy hill.

A child shoves a small toboggan weighing 100 N up a snowy hill, giving the toboggan an initial speed of 6.0 m/s. If the hill is inclined at an angle of 32° above the horizontal, how far along the hill will the toboggan slide? Assume the coefficient of sliding friction beteen the toboggan and the snow is 0.15

thanks any help is appreciated

sorry about that i will make a new topic with the correct criteria
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
