Work and energy problem with friction. Very confused
Hello, how are you? I have a question about the inclined problem in this video.

This is how I followed the video yesterday (picture 2), but I tried redoing it today I ended up following a different method because I got confused about using the KE equation to find the final velocity instead of using v^2=v0^2+2ad.
The v^2=v0^2+2ad makes sense to me. I have all the known and only need to find Force when I replace a (acceleration) with F/m.
By substituting Work for PE (Gravitational potential E).
so W=PE I do PE=mgh and I get (90kg)(9.8 m/s^2)( sin(5) 500)= 38436 J
and to find F. 38436=Fd so F=76.87
so v^2=v0^2+2F/md or v= square root of ((2*Fd)/m) I keep on getting 29.22 m/s instead of 13.7m/s.
I didn't understand how to use the KE=mv^2/2 when we don't know what KE is. I figured it out later but why can't we use the v^2=v0^2+2ad equation when that makes sense?
I know you found KE by doing PE (initial Energy or all the energy)= KE (final) eergy+ Friction*500m
I was confused about why to multiply by the 500m
