Question

A sled, with mass mm, is given a shove up a frictionless incline, which makes a 28.028.0^{\circ} angle with the horizontal. Eventually, the sled comes to a stop at a height of 1.35 m1.35 \mathrm{~m} above where it started. Calculate its initial speed.

Given the following information

θ=28.0h=1.35 m\begin{aligned} \theta&=28.0^{\circ}\\ h&=1.35\ \mathrm{m}\\ \end{aligned}

our goal is to calculate the initial speed of the sled v0v_0.

This exercise requires applying the work-kinetic energy theorem,

W=ΔK\begin{equation} W=\Delta K \end{equation}

as the work done by gravity must be equal to the change in the sled's kinetic energy.
