A child and a sled with a combined mass of 50.0 kg slide down a frictionless slope. If the sled starts from rest and has a speed of 3.00 m/s at the bottom, what is the height of the hill?

The height of the hill is 0.46 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the child and sled, m = 50 kg

initial velocity of the sled, u = 0

final velocity of the sled, v = 3 m/s

The height of the high is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

P.E at top = K.E at bottom

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

Therefore, the height of the hill is 0.46 m.

Use Fnet=ma. Apply it to the vertical components of all the forces acting on the ball and since tension is the same on both wires you should be able to factor it out and solve for it. Picture below
