A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force) acts on her. The student has a mass of 62.0 kg, and the height of the water slide is 12.4 m. If the kinetic frictional force does -5.72 × 103 J of work, how fast is the student going at the bottom of the slide?

Beginning from rest, an object of mass 200 kg slides down a 9-m-long ramp. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 20o from the horizontal.

A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 480 N/m . The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.26. What is the speed of the box just before hitting the...

A box of mass m1 = 2.0 kg starts from rest and slides down the frictionless incline. At point A, the box encounters a (massless) spring of spring constant k. It compresses the spring a distance x = 0.25 m to point B where the speed of the box is 4.4 m/s. The first box is then removed and a second box of mass m2 = 3.0 kg is placed on the same incline at the same initial point and...

A box (with a penguin inside) with mass, M, slides down a frictionless ramp, starting a height H above ground level. At the lowest point of the ramp (height = -0.1H) it slides through a curved section of track with radius, R= 0.25H. The box (w/ penguin) then rises to ground level (height = 0) and at that point, leaves a jump at an angle θ. At the highest point of its trajectory, h2, it strikes a blob of glue...
