Slanting Surfaces Without Friction: A 7.5-kg stone moves up frictionless hill that slopes upward at 41° above the horizontal. If the stone has an initial velocity of 8.5 m/s at the bottom, how far (as measured along the surface of the hill) will it go before stopping?

Slanting Surfaces With Friction: A 200-g hockey puck is launched up a ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30, respectively, and the puck's initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surface of the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?

How should we expect the Milky Way's interstellar medium to be different in 50 billion years than it is today?
A) The total amount of gas will be about the same, but the percentage of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium will have risen from the current 2% to more than 50%. B) The total amount of gas will be much greater, since many stars will undergo supernovae between now and then. C) The total amount of gas will be much less than it is today. D) Thanks to the recycling of the star-gas-star cycle, the interstellar medium should look about the same in 50 billion years as it does today.
