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

Find the velocity of a water wave in meters per second with frequency
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.164 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Frequency of wave, f = 0.04 Hz

Wavelength, \lambda=4.1\ m

It is required to find the velocity of a water wave. The speed of any wave is given in terms of wavelength and frequency. Its formula is :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=0.04\times 4.1\\\\v=0.164\ m/s

So, the velocity of a water wave is 0.164 m/s.

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?
Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it.  Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s  ==>  (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out.  If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is:  You need to remember the formula !

The formula is        D = 1/2 a T²

                   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

             Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                                  =        (18 m/s)            /        (12 sec)
                                  =                      1.5 m/s² .

                  Distance  =  (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
                                  =       (0.75 m/s²)  x  (144 sec²)  =  108 meters .

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m
Mumz [18]
The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

Answer:

Answer:

= 338.2 m/s

Explanation:

vs= 331 + T (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 12 °C (0.6m/s)

= 331 + 7.2m/s

= 338.2 m/s
