A half-full recycling bin has mass 3.0 kg and is pushed up a 40.0^\circ40.0 ∘ incline with constant speed under the action o
1 answer:
Answer:
11.82 N upward and parallel to the incline.
Explanation:
Let g = 9.81 m/s2. Gravity that acts on the bin has a magnitude of
W = mg = 3*9.81 = 29.43 N
The gravity component that is parallel to the 40 degree incline is
If the bin is moving at constant speed, then the net force (parallel to the incline) is also 0. Gravity is balanced with the push force of 26 N and the friction force.
The magnitude of friction force is 26 - 18.9 = 7.08 N
The the bin is moving down the incline, then gravity is 18.9N , friction is 7.08 N, one must create an upward force of 18.9 - 7.08 = 11.82 N parallel with the incline to balance this.

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,
Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that
Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
