Answer
given,
initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s
angle above the horizontal = 55°
height of the ramp = 1 m
a) maximum height of projectile
H = 0.889 m
the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground
= 1 + 0.889
= 1.889 m
b) time to reach the height
t = 0.426 s
horizontal distance = u cos θ × t
= 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426
horizontal distance = 1.25 m
Answer: The car has a kinetic energy (because it's in motion) of:
Explanation:
The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:
Since there is no friction or any other external force, the only force acting in the direction of the movement is the component of the weight of the block, therefore, applying Newton's second law:
Replacing the values:
We may cancel out the mass:
Using the gravity constant as 9.8 meters per square second:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the acceleration is 6.3 meters per square second.
