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 do we add the masses together after that inelastic collision?
fomenos

Answer:An inelastic collision is one in which the internal kinetic energy changes (it is not conserved). A collision in which the objects stick together is sometimes called perfectly inelastic because it reduces internal kinetic energy more than does any other type of inelastic collision.People sometimes think that objects must stick together in an inelastic collision. However, objects only stick together during a perfectly inelastic collision. Objects may also bounce off each other or explode apart, and the collision is still considered inelastic as long as kinetic energy is not conserved.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: The correct option is A ( horizontally towards the east)

Explanation:

Magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current- carrying conductor, where a magnetic force is experienced. The magnetic effect of electric current was first discovered in the early 1820 by Oersted. Using a wire that had current flowing through it and a pivoted magnetic needle, he discovered that the direction of deflection depended on the direction of the current and whether the wire was above or below the needle.

From the way the needle turns when current when current carrying wire is held parallel to it, he therefore concluded that:

--> a current has magnetic field all round it,

--> the magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular to the current.

The above discovery was now modified in Fleming's left hand rule which states that when conductor carrying current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force perpendicular to both the field and the flow of current.

Therefore from the question, a vertical wire carrying current in DOWNWARD direction is placed in a HORIZONTAL magnetic field directed to the NORTH. The direction of the force on the wire is to the EAST.

A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
marta [7]
A classic puzzle...

She either kicked it at a wall <em>exactly</em><em /> 10 foot in front of her, where the ball rebounded off the wall.

Or, she kicked the ball straight up, vertically, at a <em>90 degree angle,</em> where due to the law of gravity, which states that anything that goes up must come down, when the soccer ball reaches exactly 10 feet, it falls back down.
(Note: This is nearly impossible to achieve -- exactly 10 feet.)
