General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Kinematics</u>
- Displacement vs Total Distance
Explanation:
Displacement is the difference between the start position and end position.
Total Distance is the entire distance <em>traveled</em> between the start and end position.

Answer:
d = 11.1 m
Explanation:
Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

Solving for d,

Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons: The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.
