A \(90 \, \text{kg}\) individual is cycling up a hill inclined at \(30^\circ\) on a \(12 \, \text{kg}\) bicycle. The hill is quite steep, and the coefficient of static friction is \(0.85\). The cyclist ascends \(12 \, \text{m}\) up the hill and then pauses at the summit. They then start descending from rest and travel \(9 \, \text{m}\) before firmly applying the brakes, causing the wheels to lock.

A car can decelerate at \( -3.80 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would its deceleration be if the road is inclined at \( 9.3^\circ \) and the car moves uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient.

An experimenter has a simple pendulum of length \( L \) and a mass–spring system with mass \( m \) and spring constant \( k \). Both are found to have the same period of oscillation \( T \) on Earth. If both systems are taken to the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is approximately \( \frac{1}{6} g \) of Earth, what will happen to their periods?

The graph in the figure shows the position of a particle as it travels along the x-axis. At what value of \(t\) is the speed of the particle equal to \(0 \, \text{m/s}\)?

note that the slope of position vs time is velocity. And the graph most closely reemsbles a flat or 0 slope at 3 seconds

A block is given a brief push so that it slides up a ramp. After the block reaches its highest point, it slides back down, but the magnitude of its acceleration is less on the descent than on the ascent. Why?
