Conservation  of energy
A person stands on the edge of a cliff and throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground it has 450J of kinetic energy. If the stone were to be thrown horizontally outward from the cliff with the same initial speed of 10m/s how much kinetic energy would it have just before it hits the ground?

 Friction
A 50 kg crate slides down a 5.0m loding ramp that is inclined at an angle of 25^0 to the horizontal. A worker pushes on the crate parallel to the surface of the ramp so that the crate slides down with a constant velocity. If  the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.33 how much work is down by each of the following? (a) the worker (b) the force of friction (c) the force of gravity  (d) What is the net work down on the crate?
