Need help in showing how to get the final velocity​

I don't think the provided solution is correct because it's not dimensionally consistent. The quantity 8h-1 in particular doesn't make sense since it's mixing a distance with a dimensionless constant.

Here's how I think the proper answer should look:

The net force on the box acting perpendicular to the ramp is

\sum F_\perp = F_{\rm normal} - mg \cos(\theta) = 0

where F_{\rm normal} is the magnitude of the normal force due to contact with the ramp and mg\cos(\theta) is the magnitude of the box's weight acting in this direction. The net force is zero since the box doesn't move up or down relative to the plane of motion.

The net force acting parallel the ramp is

\sum F_\| = mg\sin(\theta) - F_{\rm friction} = ma

where mg\sin(\theta) is the magnitude of the parallel component of the box's weight, F_{\rm friction} is the magnitude of kinetic friction, and a is the acceleration of the box.

From the first equation, we find

F_{\rm normal} = mg \cos(\theta)

and since F_{\rm friction} = \mu F_{\rm normal}, we get from the second equation

mg\sin(\theta) - \mu mg\cos(\theta) = ma

and with \mu = 0.25 and \theta=60^\circ, we get

a = g\sin(60^\circ) - 0.25g \cos(60^\circ) = \left(\dfrac{\sqrt3}2 - \dfrac18\right) g

Let x be the length of the ramp, i.e. the distance that the box covers as it slides down it. Then the box attains a final velocity v such that

v^2 = 2ax

From the diagram, we see that

\sin(\theta) = \dfrac hx \implies x = \dfrac h{\sin(60^\circ)} = \dfrac{2h}{\sqrt3}

and so

v^2 = \dfrac{4ah}{\sqrt3} = \left(2 - \dfrac1{2\sqrt3}\right) hg = \dfrac14 \left(8 - \dfrac2{\sqrt3}\right) hg

\implies v = \dfrac12 \sqrt{\left(8 - \dfrac2{\sqrt3}\right) hg}

Why did thomson’s results from experimenting with cathode rays cause a big change in scientific thought about atoms?
natima [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before Thomson's discovery, atoms were believed according to the "Dalton's atomic theory" to be the smallest indivisible particle of any matter. This makes atoms the smallest unit of a matter.

Thomson in 1897, used the discharge tube to discover cathode rays which are today called electrons.

The discovery of electrons provided more light into the structure and nature of atoms. Atoms were now being seen in a different light as particles that are made up of other smaller sized particles.

Thomson through his experiment was able determine perfectly well the nature of the rays he saw emanating from the cathode. One of his findings shows that the rays are negatively charged and are repelled by negative charges.

The discovery of electrons further led to more works on the atom and other particles were discovered. Atoms were no longer seen as indivisible or the smallest particles of matter.
