A basketball is tossed upwards with a speed of 5.0 m/s. We can ignore air resistance. What is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point? (Answer using a coordinate system where upward is positive.)

To practice problem-solving strategy 10.1 for energy conservation problems. a sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. after the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. find the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the sled and the ground, assuming that it is constant throughout the trip.
