An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom o
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

An imaginary line perpendicular to a reflecting surface is called ____refrac_____.
umka2103 [35]
Not totally sure but i would say a normal? its not refraction or incidence if its perpendicular and i dont think its a mirror if its an imaginary line so yeah normal (normals are always perpendicular to their surface too i think so)

A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially
Alchen [17]

The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s

<h3 />

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v

v =\frac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}

v = \frac{7950*15}{7950+2950}

v= 10.9 m/s

Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s
