Total internal reflection. Although I'm not 100%
75km
I dont really know how to do the math but thats what my teacher told me when i asked
The component of the crate's weight that is parallel to the ramp is the only force that acts in the direction of the crate's displacement. This component has a magnitude of
<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> sin(20.0°) = (15.0 kg) (9.81 m/s^2) sin(20.0°) ≈ 50.3 N
Then the work done by this force on the crate as it slides down the ramp is
<em>W</em> = <em>F d</em> = (50.3 N) (2.0 m) ≈ 101 J
The work-energy theorem says that the total work done on the crate is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Since it starts at rest, its initial kinetic energy is 0, so
<em>W</em> = <em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ^2
Solve for <em>v</em> :
<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) = √(2 (101 J) / (2.0 m)) ≈ 10.0 m/s
