Question 19





A boy in a wheelchair (total mass m = kg) has speed vi = m/s at the crest of a slope m high and m long. At the bottom of the slope his speed is m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.
