| 2 | [katex] d = 7 \, \text{m} [/katex] | Distance rolled down the hill before stopping. |
| 3 | [katex] \theta = 25^\circ [/katex] | Angle of inclination of the hill. |
| 4 | [katex] g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 [/katex] | Acceleration due to gravity. |
| 5 | [katex] \mu_k = 0.65 [/katex] | Coefficient of kinetic friction. |
| 6 | [katex] \Delta PE = mgh = mgd \sin(\theta) [/katex] | Calculate potential energy lost over the 7 m descent using the height change formula [katex] h = d \sin(\theta) [/katex]. |
| 7 | [katex] h = 7 \sin(25^\circ) [/katex] | Calculate the vertical distance descended. |
| 8 | [katex] \Delta PE = 110 \times 9.8 \times 7 \sin(25^\circ) [/katex] | Substitute known values into the potential energy formula. |
| 9 | [katex] \Delta PE \approx 2793.24 \, \text{J} [/katex] | Amount of energy needed to be transformed into friction, to bring the bike to a complete stop. |
| 9.5 | Calculate the maximum possible energy that friction can generate. | Use the [katex] W = Fd [/katex] as shown below |

| 11 | [katex] f_k = 0.65 \times (110 \times 9.8 \times \cos(25^\circ)) [/katex] | Substitute into the force of friction formula. |
| 12 | [katex] f_k \approx 627.89 \, \text{N} [/katex] | Calculating the force using approximate value of cosine function. |
| 13 | [katex] W = f_k \times d [/katex] | Work done by friction is the product of the force of friction and the distance over which it acts. |
| 14 | [katex] W = 627.89 \times 7 [/katex] | Substitute the values into the work formula. |
| 15 | [katex] W \approx 4395.23 \, \text{J} [/katex] | Calculating the total work done by friction. |
| 16 | Conclusion | The work done by friction exceeds the energy needed to bring the bike to a complete halt. Only 2793.24 J of frictional energy is transformed from potential energy to bring to bike to rest. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Two blocks, [katex] m_2 > m_1 [/katex], having the same kinetic energy, move from a frictionless surface onto a surface having friction coefficient [katex] \mu_k [/katex]. Which block will travel further before stopping.
Block 2 initially is at rest. Block 1 travels towards block 2 and collides with Block 2 as shown above. Find the final velocities of both blocks assuming the collision is elastic.
A baseball is thrown vertically into the air with a velocity v, and reaches a maximum height h. At what height was the baseball moving with one-half its original velocity? Assume air resistance is negligible.
In the figure above, the marble rolls down the track and around a loop-the-loop of radius \( R \). The marble has mass \( m \) and radius \( r \). What minimum height \( h_{min} \) must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off? Express your answer in terms of the variables \( R \) and \( r \).
The diagram above shows a marble rolling down an incline, the bottom part of which has been bent into a loop. The marble is released from point A at a height of 0.80 m above the ground. Point B is the lowest point and point C the highest point of the loop. The diameter of the loop is 0.35 m. The mass of the marble is 0.050 kg. Friction forces and any gain in kinetic energy due to the rotating of the marble can be ignored. When answering the following questions, consider the marble when it is at point C.

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
