6. Two blocks are released from rest at the same height. Block A slides down a steeper ramp than Block B. Both ramps are frictio

nless. The blocks reach the same final height indicated by the lower dashed line. Block B weighs more than Block A.
a. Is the work done by the gravitational force on Block A (greater/less than/equal to) the work done by the gravitational force on Block B? Explain your reasoning.

b. Is the speed of Block A (greater/less than/equal to) the speed of Block B? Explain your reasoning.

c. Is the momentum of Block A (greater/less than/equal to) the momentum of Block B? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

a. the work done by the gravitational force on Block A is <u>less than</u> the work done by the gravitational force on Block B.

b. the speed of Block A is <u>equal to</u> the speed of Block B.

c. the momentum of Block A is <u>less than</u> the momentum of Block B.

Explanation:

a. The  work done by the gravitational force is equal to:

w = m*g*h

where m is mass, g is the standard gravitational acceleration and h is height. Given that both blocks are released from rest at the same height, then, the bigger the mass, the bigger the work done.

b. With ramps frictionless, the final speed of the blocs is:

v = √(2*g*h)

which is independent of the mass of the blocks.

c. The momentum is calculated as follows:

momentum = m*v

Given that both bocks has the same speed, then, the bigger the mass, the bigger the momentum.

What the 3 law of newton mean
Masteriza [31]
Newtons third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal an opposite reaction. This means that the force on back on something is going to be equal in size and opposite in direction.

When Earth and the Moon are separated by a
Wewaii [24]
     Using the Universal Gratitation Law, we have:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2}  \\ MmG=2*10^{20}*(3.84*10^8)^2 \\ MmG=29.4912*10^36
 
     Again applying the formula in the new situation, comes:

F= \frac{MmG}{d^2} \\ F= \frac{29.4912*10^36}{(1.92*10^8)^2} \\ \boxed {F=8*10^{20}}

Number 4

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N
