D. potential energy, because there is a bunch of water pent up, essentially stationary, waiting to roll down the steep mountain from the peak, so to say. if the dam were to be removed it would become kinetic.
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.
Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg
F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)
F = 83 N
Answer:
t = 5.05 s
Explanation:
This is a kinetic problem.
a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m
b) in this system the equations of motion are
y = v₀ t + ½ g t²
where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth
e) y = 0 + ½ g t²
t = √ (2y / g)
t = √(2 125 / 9.8)
t = 5.05 s
It would be A because it would make sense
