A parcel of mass \(3\text{ kg}\) slides \(3.5\text{ m}\) down a smooth slope inclined at \(20^\circ\) to the horizontal. When it reaches the bottom of the slope it has speed \(8\text{ m s}^{-1}\). Find the speed of the parcel at the top of the slope.
A waiter drops a plate and it falls \(1.43\text{ m}\) to the floor, where it smashes. Find the speed of the plate when it hits the floor.
A tennis ball of mass \(57\text{ g}\) is hit and rises through a height of \(1\text{ m}\). Ignoring air resistance, find the increase in the gravitational potential energy of the ball.
A tennis ball of mass \(57\text{ g}\) is hit to give it an initial speed of \(180\text{ km h}^{-1}\). It rises through a height of \(1\text{ m}\). Ignoring air resistance, find the horizontal speed of the ball at the top of its flight.
A box slides down a smooth ramp. The height of the ramp is \(20\text{ cm}\) and the length of the ramp is \(2.5\text{ m}\). The box starts from rest. What is the speed of the box when it reaches the bottom of the ramp?
