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.

Why are TV shows nowadays so boring?
Anna [14]

The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people.  Here's <u>my</u> take on it:

The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring.  And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast. 

I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong".  I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.

My conclusion is this: 
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person.  You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for.  That's
a very good thing !

You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things.  That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.

Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends.  With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends.  And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on.  Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else.  Those are the people that
TV is aimed at.  But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.

There are other possible reasons why TV bores you.  But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.

Thermodynamics
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A heat engine is a device that converts internal energy into work. Internal energy is increased by the addition of heat. The efficiency of a heat engine is a measurement of how efficiently it works. Efficiency compares the amount of useful energy extracted from a process to the total energy input. The heat engine will be more efficient if the percentage is higher.

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin
creativ13 [48]
If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 1 newton)  =  2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 120 newtons)  =  300 newtons.
