Answer:
The answer to your question is: total energy = 30100.4 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy due to the movement of and object, its units are joules (J)
Data
mass = 1280 kg
speed = 4.92 m/s
Force = 509 N
distance = 28.7 m
Formula
Work = Fd
Process
- Calculate Kinetic energy
- Calculate work
- Add both results
KE =
KE = 15492.1 J
Work = (509)(28.7)
Work = 14608.3 J
Total = 15492.1 + 14608.3
Total energy = 30100.4 J
Answer:
<em>2.78m/s²</em>
Explanation:
Complete question:
<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>
According to Newton's second law of motion:
Where:
is the coefficient of friction
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Fm is the moving force acting on the body
Ff is the frictional force
m is the mass of the box
a is the acceleration'
Given
Required
acceleration of the box
Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:
Recall that:
9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax
9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax
4.9 - 2.1217 = ax
ax = 2.78m/s²
<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
