5 A puck, of mass 0.2 kg , is placed on a slope inclined at \(20 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal, as shown in the diagram.

The puck is hit so that initially it moves with a velocity of \(4 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) directly up the slope.
- A simple model assumes that the surface of the slope is smooth.
- Show that the acceleration of the puck up the slope is \(- 3.35 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\), correct to three significant figures.
- Find the distance that the puck will travel before it comes to rest.
- What will happen to the puck after it comes to rest?
Explain why.
- A revised model assumes that the surface is rough and that the coefficient of friction between the puck and the surface is 0.5 .
- Show that the magnitude of the friction force acting on the puck during this motion is 0.921 N , correct to three significant figures.
- Find the acceleration of the puck up the slope.
- What will happen to the puck after it comes to rest in this case?
Explain why.
