A box with an initial speed of 9 m/s9ms is moving up a ramp. The ramp has a kinetic friction coefficient of 5/4 54 and an incline of (3 pi )/4 3π4. How far along the ramp will the box go?

The box will go -23.36 m23.36metres along the ramp.

Explanation:

If a block is moving up the inclined plane then the distance travelled by the block up the plane is
s={[u^2]/[2g(sintheta+mu_kcostheta)]}s={u22g(sinθ+μkcosθ)}
Assume box as block and ramp as inclined plane and also consider g=9.8m//s^2g=9.8m/s2.
Calculating with given values,
s={[9m//s]^2/[2xx(9.8m//s^2)xx[sin((3pi)/4)+(5/4)cos((3pi)/4)]]}s=[9m/s]22×(9.8m/s2)×[sin(3π4)+(54)cos(3π4)]
:.s=-23.36m.
Here'-' sign denotes that the body is travelling up the incline plane.
