A 4.25 kg block is sent up a ramp inclined at an angle theta=37.5° from the horizontal. It is given an initial velocity ????0=15

.0 m/s up the ramp. Between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of kinetic friction is ????k=0.460 and the coefficient of static friction is ????s=0.817. How far up the ramp in the direction along the ramp does the block go before it comes to a stop?

Answer:

d = 11.79 m

Explanation:

Known data

m=4.25 kg  : mass of the block

θ =37.5°  :angle θ of the ramp with respect to the horizontal direction

μk= 0.460  : coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction

N : Normal force : perpendicular to the ramp

f : Friction force: parallel to the ramp

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W=  4.25 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 41.65 N

x-y weight components

Wx= Wsin θ= 41.65*sin 37.5° = 25.35 N

Wy= Wcos θ =41.65*cos 37.5° =33.04 N

Calculated of the N

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

N - Wy = 0

N = Wy

N = 33.04 N

Calculated of the f

f = μk* N= 0.460*33.04

f = 15.2 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

-Wx-f = m*a

 -25.35-15.2 = (4.25)*a

-40.55 =  (4.25)*a

a = (-40.55)/ (4.25)

a = -9.54 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula to calculate the final speed of the block :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement  (m)

v₀: initial speed  (m/s)

vf: final speed   (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 15 m/s

vf = 0

a = -9.54 m/s²

We replace data in the formula (2)  to calculate the distance along the ramp the block reaches before stopping (d)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

0 = (15)²+2*(-9.54)*d

2*(9.54)*d =   (15)²

(19.08)*d = 225

d = 225 / (19.08)

d = 11.79 m

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(a)

x_1=17.68km\\y_1=-17.68km\\x_2=20km\\y_2=34.64km

(b) r=41.32km

\alpha =24.23^o

Explanation:

Let us take the north direction to be the positive y-axis and the east to be positive x-axis.

First day:

25.0 km southeast, which implies 45^o south of east. The y-component will be negative and the x-component will be positive.

x_1=25cos45^o=17.68km

y_1=-25sin45^o=-17.68km

Second day:

She starts off at the stopping point of last day. This time, both the y- and x-components are positive.

x_2=40cos60^o=20km

y_2=40sin60^o=34.64km

Therefore, total displacements:

x=x_1+x_2=(17.68+20)km=37.68km

y=y_1+y_2=(-17.68+34.64)km=16.96km

Magnitude of displacements,

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=41.32km

Direction,

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=24.23^o
