To assess whether your calculations are reasonable, we'll analyze a similar situation to the one described in the problem introduction. Suppose the same sled is released from the same height on the same slope. This time, however, assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the sled is a known quantity, μ, and, as before, constant throughout the trip. After the sled is released, it slides the same distance d1 down the slope and then moves a certain (unknown) distance along the horizontal terrain before stopping. Find the distance d traveled by the sled from the end of the slope until it comes to a stop. Express your answer in terms of the variables d1, μ, and θ.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. you are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. you are informed that they are made of the exact same material, but one is crystalline, whereas the other is amorphous. it is your job to determine which one is amorphous this one is more stress-resistant and is useful in reinforcing golf clubs. which of the following is the best way to determine which is which? a. determine the density of each cube. the more dense one is the amorphous solid. b. melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid. c. determine the density of each cube. the less dense cube is the amorphous solid. d. melt both cubes and measure the range of melting temperatures. the one that melts over a narrower range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.
