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

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon
fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.

How would the weight of a 7-kilogram concrete block compared to the weight of a 7-kilogram metal sphere?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

C. The block and the sphere would have the same weight.

Explanation:

If both the block and the sphere weigh 7 kilograms then they have the same weight. They may look different, but they both weigh 7 kilograms.
