5. You are playing a game where the goal is to slide a small block up a ramp with inclination a so that it reaches a target at a vertical distance h above the bottom of the incline. There is friction between the block and the incline, with kinetic friction coefficient Mk. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to calculate the initial speed you must give the block at the bottom of the incline so that it will come to rest at the target. Express your answer in terms of g, h, pk, and a. α h

A sled stalls from rest at the top of a snow-covered incline that makes a 22 angle with the horizontal. After sliding 75 m down the slope, its speed is 14 m/s. Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snowy surface.
“ E=K+Uconstant is a special case of the work energy theorem.” Discuss this statement.

(a) How long will it take an 850-kg car with a useful power output of 40.0 hp (1hp=746W) to reach a speed of 15.0 m/s, neglecting friction? (b) How long will this acceleration take if the car also climbs a 3.00-m-high hill in the process?
a shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed at an angle of 25 below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to overcome various frictional forces, so the cart moves at constant speed, (a) Find the work done by the shopper as she moves down a 50.0-m length aisle, (b) What is the net work done on the cart? Why? (c) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesnt change, would the shoppers applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? What about the work done on the cart by the shopper?
