The block moves up an incline with constant speed. what is the total work wtotal done on the block by all forces as the block mo
ves a distance l = 3.60 m up the incline? include only the work done after the block has started moving at constant speed, not the work needed to start the block moving from rest.
1 answer:
I found a similar problem from another website which shows the diagram. This is because we need to compute first the net force to determine the work. Afterwhich, we can use the formula: Work = Force*Distance.
Net Force = 12.2 N - wcosθ
Since the weight is 30 N and the angle is 24°,
Net Force = 12.2 - 30cos24° = -15.2 N
So,
W = (-15.2 N)(3.60 m)
<em>W = -54.7 J</em>
Net Force = 12.2 N - wcosθ
Since the weight is 30 N and the angle is 24°,
Net Force = 12.2 - 30cos24° = -15.2 N
So,
W = (-15.2 N)(3.60 m)
<em>W = -54.7 J</em>

Explanation:
If the turntable starts from rest and is set in motion with a constant angular acceleration α. Let is the angular velocity of the turntable. We know that the rate of change of angular velocity is called the angular acceleration of an object. Its formula is given by :
............(1)
Using second equation of kinematics as :
Using equation (1) in above equation
In one revolution, (in 2 revolutions)
Hence, this is the required solution.
