To test a slide at an amusement park, a block of wood with mass 3.00 kgkg is released at the top of the slide and slides down to

the horizontal section at the end, a vertical distance of 23.0 mm below the starting point. The block flies off the ramp in a horizontal direction and then lands on the ground after traveling through the air 30.0 mm horizontally and 40.0 mm downward. Neglect air resistance.
How much work does friction do on the block as it slides down the ramp?

Answer:

511.1 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wood block=m=3 kg

Vertical distance,h=23 m

Horizontal distance =x=30 m

Distance traveled in downward direction y=40 m

Initial velocity,u=0

y=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

40=0+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=4.9t^2

t^2=\frac{40}{4.9}

t=\sqrt{\frac{40}{4.9}}=2.86 s

x=v_x\times t

30=v_x(2.86)

v=v_x=\frac{30}{2.86}=10.49 m/s

By work energy theorem

Change in kinetic energy=Work done= mgh-W

\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2=3\times 9.8\times 23-W

\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2-0=676.2-W

W=676.2-\frac{1}{2}(3)(10.49)^2=511.1 J

Hence, the work done due to friction on the block as it slides down the ramp=511.1 J

What is mean by the net displacement in transverse wave
natta225 [31]
In a transverse wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Thus, waves travel through a medium with no net displacement of the distance between two successive particles of wave that are in wavelength.

Explanation:

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.
