, on a hill. Dr. L., Jimmie and Kepler (Total mass = MT ) are all on a massless sled together. They are on a hill that is at an angle of θ above horizontal… Ok. Now we know Dr. L. is lazy. This is the third problem he’s reused… Assume they start from rest and that there is no friction between the sled and hill. a.) How fast will the sled be going when it reaches the bottom of the hill. --- Now assume there’s friction between the sled and hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction is µK. b.) Draw a free body diagram of the sled. c.) What is the force of friction acting on the sled? d.) Now use energy and determine the final velocity of the sled with friction. Is it less than it was before? Good! It better be.
