A block of mass 10 kg slides down an inclined plane that has an angle of 30. If the inclined plane has no friction and the block

starts at a height of 2 m, how much kinetic energy does the block have when it reaches the bottom? Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

E = 196 joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 10 kg

At the top, the block will have only potential energy which is given by :

$P=mgh$

At the bottom of the inclined plane, it will have only kinetic energy which is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Applying the conservation of energy as :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$E=10\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 2\ m$

E = 196 joules

So, the block will have 196 joules of kinetic energy when it reaches the bottom. Hence, this is the required solution.

No friction present means: Ek = Ep

So Ek = mgh = 10 * 9.8 * 2 = 196 J

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

$F = 62.5 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg + F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg - F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 62.5 N$

Modify how could you charge the electric circuit shown below to allow lightbulb a to stay lit even if lightbulb b is removed fro

shepuryov [24]

When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!

The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}$

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

$p=m*v$

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s$

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}$

$\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m$

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

$\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m$

$40 \ kg = m$

The falling rock has a mass of <u>40 kilograms.</u>

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help

VladimirAG [237]

By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
$R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}$
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
$\tan \alpha = \frac{R_y}{R_x}$
where $\alpha$ is its direction with respect to the x-axis.
