ANTONII [103]3 years ago

<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

An object with a mass m slides down a rough 370 inclined plane where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. If the plane i
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below. The final speed is determined by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

K_{A} + U_{g,A} = K_{B} + U_{g,B} + W_{loss}

K_{B} = K_{A} + U_{g,A}-U_{g,B} - W_{loss}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot s \cos \theta

\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g\cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)

v = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (10\,m)\cdot (\sin 37^{\textdegree} - 0.2\cdot \cos 37^{\textdegree})}

v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The box will be moving at 0.45m/s. The solution to this problem requires the knowledge and application of newtons second law of motion and the knowledge of linear motion. The vertical component of the force Fp acts vertically upwards against the directio of motion. This causes a constant upward force of 23sin45° to act on the box. Fhe frictional force of 13N also acts vertically upwards and so two forces act upwards against rhe force of gravity resulting un a net force of 0.7N acting kn the box. This corresponds to an acceleration of 0.225m/s². So in w.0s after i start to push v = 0.45m/s.
