Well I figured out the first problem I had posted so here's a new one :)
If two objects of different masses are sliding along a frictionless surface at the same speed and they both slide of the same frictionless surface. which rises to a greater height?
I want to say they both go to the same height. or does the lighter of the two go further because it has less force acting upon it while going up the hill?
thank you

A frictionless surface is a hypothetical surface that has no resistance to motion. In other words, it is a surface where there is no force opposing the movement of an object.
In a frictionless surface, two objects will slide without any resistance or friction between them. This means that the objects will continue to move at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
The motion of two objects sliding on a frictionless surface is only affected by external forces, such as gravity or applied forces. Other factors, such as surface texture or air resistance, do not have an impact on the motion of the objects.
Yes, it is possible for two objects to collide on a frictionless surface. However, the collision will not result in any change in the motion of the objects since there is no friction to transfer energy between the objects.
The conservation of energy is applied in the motion of two objects on a frictionless surface because there is no energy lost due to friction. This means that the total energy of the system will remain constant throughout the motion of the objects.
