Yes. Your answer is correct. I hope you do well on the quiz or whatever it is.
Answer:
statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.
Explanation:
The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.
The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction
here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.
Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.
Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.
The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.
Well.....
Gravity from the sun pulls the planets torward it while inertia pulls it outward....but I guess that would be why it orbits sorry if this doesn't help but uh
