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.

A spring is hanging from the ceiling. When a 250 gram of mass is attached to the free end, the spring elongates by 5 cm. The spr
lord [1]

Answer:

k = 49 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, it elongates 5 cm or 0.05 m. We need to find the spring constant. Let it is k.

The force due to mass is balanced by its weight as follows :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.25\times 9.8}{0.05}\\\\k=49\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 49 N/m.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

D. the ability to exercise for longer periods of time

Explanation:

For example, when someone does endurance training, they are stretching their body's ability to do a certain exercise for longer times as opposed to increasing strength.

A piece of wood has a volume of 4.6 cm to the power of 3, and a mass of 3.7 g what is the density of the wood
AysviL [449]

Density is given by:

D = M/V

D = density, M = mass, V = volume

Given values:

M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³

Plug in and solve for D:

D = 3.7/4.6

D = 0.80g/cm³
