7. Friction, Inclines, Systems

A 3-kg block is at rest on an adjustable ramp. When the ramp is tilted to a 20° angle, the block slides with constant velocity. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the block?

A bicycle coasting at 8.0 m/s comes to a 5.0-m-long, 1.0-m-high ramp. What is the bicycle's speed as it leaves the top of the ramp?

A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has traveled $6.80$ m to the bottom of the incline is $3.80$ m/s. What is the speed of the block when it is $3.40$ m from the top of the incline?

A very slippery block of ice slides down a smooth ramp tilted at angle θ. The ice is released from rest at vertical height h above the bottom of the ramp. Find an expression for the speed of the ice at the bottom.

A snowboarder glides down a 50-m-long, 15° hill. She then glides horizontally for 10 m before reaching a 25° upward slope. Assume the snow is frictionless. How far can she travel up the 25° slope?

A skier of mass $m$ is sliding down a frictional inclined plane that makes an angle of $15°$ with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is $\mu$, which of the following expressions gives the skier's acceleration down the slope?
