Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

Sound is a type of _____ wave.
saul85 [17]
Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

39. Draw a complete free body diagram of a 40 kg plastic crate at rest on a wooden table (us=0.7). The applied force to the righ
Leya [2.2K]

In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:

\begin{gathered} F_f=N\cdot\mu \\ F_f=40\cdot9.8\cdot0.7 \\ F_f=274.4\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.

The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.

So, drawing the diagram, we have:
