A box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 12° angle above horizontal. The box is initially sliding down the incline at a spee

d of 1.5 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the incline is 0.34. How far does the box slide down the incline before coming to rest?

Answer:

The box will cover a distance of 0.9199m before coming to rest

Explanation:

We are given;

Angle of tilt; θ = 12°

Speed of sliding down; u = 1.5 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction; μ = 0.34

We are told that the box is sliding down an incline tilted at a 12° angle above horizontal.

Thus,

The components of the weight of the block would be;

Fx = mg sinθ = mg sin 12

Fy = mg cosθ = mg cos 12

For, the normal force on the block, it will be counter balanced by the Y component of weight of block and so we have;

Normal force; Fn = mg cos 12

Now formula for the frictional force would be given by;

Ff = μmg cos 12

So, Ff = 0.34mg cos 12

So, the net force along the inclined plane is;

Fnet = Fx - Ff

Fnet = mg sin 12 - 0.34mg cos 12

Where Fnet = mass x acceleration.

Thus;

ma = mg sin 12 - 0.34mg cos 12

m will cancel out to give;

a = g sin 12 - 0.34g cos 12

a = 9.81(0.2079) - 0.34(9.81 × 0.9781)

a = -1.223 m/s²

According to Newton's equation of motion, we have;

(v² - u²) = 2as

s = (v² - u²)/2a

Final velocity is zero. Thus;

s = (0² - 1.5²)/(2 × -1.223)

s = -2.25/-2.446

s = 0.9199 m

Thus, the box will cover 0.9199m before coming to rest

Find the kenetic energy of a car of mass 700kg racing with a velocity of 10m/s
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

35000 KJ

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy is given by the formula :

E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(10)^{2}

E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (700)(100)

E_{k} = (350)(100)  OR E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (70000)

E_{k} = 35000

Units will be kilojoules since the units of mass was kilograms .

Our final answer is 35000 KJ

Hope this helped and have a good day

Rutherford's gold-foil experiment led him to conclude that
erica [24]

Answer:

C. a dense region of positive charge existed somewhere in the atom.

Explanation:

Physicist Ernest Rutherford created the gold foil experiment in which he shot a beam of alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil, which then sent a  few of the particles flying after they were deflected. Based on the information gathered after completing this experiment, Rutherford concluded that a dense region of positive charge existed somewhere in the atom.
