Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30˚ angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The wood block reaches a height of 4.249 meters above its starting point.

Explanation:

The block represents a non-conservative system, since friction between wood block and the ramp is dissipating energy. The final height that block can reach is determined by Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem. Let suppose that initial height has a value of zero and please notice that maximum height reached by the block is when its speed is zero.

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = m \cdot g\cdot h + \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g\cdot s \cdot \sin \theta$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g\cdot h + \mu_{k}\cdot g\cdot \left(\frac{h}{\sin \theta} \right)\cdot \sin \theta$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g\cdot h +\mu_{k}\cdot g\cdot h$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = (1 +\mu_{k})\cdot g\cdot h$

$h = \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot (1 + \mu_{k})\cdot g}$ (1)

Where:

$h$ - Maximum height of the wood block, in meters.

$v$ - Initial speed of the block, in meters per second.

$\mu_{k}$ - Kinetic coefficient of friction, no unit.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$s$ - Distance travelled by the wood block along the wooden ramp, in meters.

$\theta$ - Inclination of the wooden ramp, in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that $v = 10\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\mu_{k} = 0.20$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the height reached by the block above its starting point is:
