A 2.4 kg box has an initial velocity of 3.6 m/s upward along a plane inclined at 27◦ to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinet

ic friction between the box and the plane is 0.12. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How far up the incline does the box travel? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

d= 1.18 m

Explanation:

In abscense of  friction, total mechanical energy must be constant, i.e.,

ΔK + ΔU = 0

As we are told that there exists a kinetic friction between the box and the plane, we need to take into account the work done by the friction force in the equation, as follows:

ΔK + ΔU = Wnc (1)

If we take as our zero gravitational potential energy reference, the height at which the box is sent upward, we can write the following equations for the different terms in (1):

ΔK = Kf- K₀ = 0 - 1/2*m*v₀² = -1/2*2.4kg* (3.6)²(m/s)² = -15.6 J

ΔU = Uf - U₀ = m*g*h = *m*g*d*sin θ = 2.4 kg*9.81 m/s²*d*0.454 = 10.7*d J

Wnc = Ff. d* cos (180º) = μk*N*d*cos(180º) (2)

The friction force always opposes to the displacement, so the angle between force and displacement is 180º.

The normal force, as is always perpendicular to the surface, takes the value needed to equilibrate the component of the weight perpendicular to the incline, as follows:

N = m*g*cosθ =  2.4 kg*9.81 m/s²*cos 27º = 21 N

Replacing in (2):

Wnc = 0.12*21*cos (180º) = -2.52*d J

Replacing in (1):

-15.6 J + 10.7*d J = -2.52*d J

Solving for d:

d = 1.18 m

What type of reaction feels cold to the touch? A. Endothermic, because energy is being released into the surroundings B. Endothe
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed <em>from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body  being minimal.</em>

All of the outer planets are much larger than the inner planets true or false
Rama09 [41]
That statement is false because yes Jupiter and Saturn are large, however, planets like Uranus and Neptune are quite small if not smaller than some of the inner planets.

Which of the following would produce the most power?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

A mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

Power = \frac {mgh}{time}

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Height = 10m

Time = 5 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Power = \frac {10*9.8*10}{5} = 490 Watts

Hence, a mass of 10 kilograms lifted 10 meters in 5 seconds would produce the most power.
