Answer:

v = 8.09   m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the work done by the friction force plus the potential energy equals the change in the body's energy.

Let's calculate the energy

       

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m gh

final point. To go down the slope

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

The work of the friction force is

         W = fr L cos 180

to find the friction force let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

        N - W_y = 0

        N = W_y

X axis

        Wₓ - fr = ma

let's use trigonometry

        sin  θ = y / L

         sin θ = 11/110 = 0.1

         θ = sin⁻¹  0.1

          θ = 5.74º

         sin 5.74 = Wₓ / W

         cos 5.74 = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin 5.74

         W_y = W cos 5.74

the formula for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

Work is friction force is

         W_fr = - μ W L cos θ  

Let's use the relationship of work with energy

        W + ΔU = ΔK

         -μ mg L cos 5.74 + (mgh - 0) = 0  - ½ m v²

        v² = - 2 μ g L cos 5.74 +2 (gh)

        v² = 2gh - 2 μ gL cos 5.74

let's calculate

        v² = 2 9.8 11 - 2 0.07 9.8 110 cos 5.74

        v² = 215.6 -150.16

        v = √65.44

        v = 8.09   m/s

3. How does Earth’s rotation affect our view of stars
Elis [28]
Since we ride along with the Earth while it's doing whatever it does,
the Earth's rotation causes our eyes to constantly point in a different
direction.

If we try to keep watching one star, we have to keep changing the
direction of our eyes to keep looking at the same star. 

We can't feel the Earth rotating, so our brains say that the star  ... and
the sun and the moon too ... is actually moving across the sky.
