Starting from rest, a 5.00-kg block slides 2.50 m down a rough 30.0 incline. The coeffi cient of kinetic friction between the bl

ock and the incline is mk 0.436. Determine (a) the work done by the force of gravity, (b) the work done by the friction force between block and incline, and (c) the work done by the normal force. (d) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if a shorter ramp at a steeper angle were used to span the same vertical height

Answer:

a) W_g =61.25J

b) W_k = -46.25J

c) W_N = 0

d) W_g would be the same.

   W_k would decrease.

   W_N would be the same.

Explanation:

a) On an inclined plane the force of gravity is the sine component of the weight of the block.

F_g = mg\sin(\theta) = 5(9.8)\sin(30^\circ)\\W_g = F_g x = 5(9.8)\sin(30^\circ)2.5 = 61.25J

b) The friction force is equal to the normal force times coefficient of friction.

F_k = -mg\cos(\theta)\mu_k = -5(9.8)cos(30^\circ)0.436 = -18.5 N\\W_k = -F_kx = -46.25J

c) The work done by the normal force is zero, since there is no motion in the direction of the normal force.

d) The relation between the vertical height and the distance on the ramp is

h = x\sin(\theta)

According to this relation, the work done by the gravity wouldn't change, since the force of gravity includes a term of x\sin(\theta).

The work done by the friction force would decrease, because both the cosine term and the distance on the ramp would decline.

The work done by the normal force would still be zero.

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

You draw 3 circles around the stations with the size of the circle equal to the distance from the earthquake. Then you simply find where the edge circles all overlap.
