A box residing on an inclined plane has following forces:

In the X- direction

Mg sin (theta) = horizontal component of weight of the box

f = Frictional force = uN , u = frictional factor, N= mg

In the Y- direction

upward force = Normal reaction of the box = mg

downward force = mg cos(theta) = vertical component of weight of the box

A 77 kg student traveling in a car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.7 104 J. What is the speedometer reading o

AVprozaik [17]

ANSWER

75.65 km/h

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The student's mass, m = 77 kg

• The kinetic energy of the student in the car, KE = 1.7 x 10⁴ J

Find:

• The speed read in the speedometer of the car, which is the speed of the student, v (in km/h)

The kinetic energy of an object with mass m, traveling at a speed v, is,

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}$

Replace the known values and solve,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot1.7\cdot10^4J}{77kg}}\approx21.013m/s$

Note that because the kinetic energy is given in Joules - which is equivalent to kg*m²/s², the speed we found is in m/s. Now, knowing that there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour and that 1 km is equivalent to 1000 m, we can convert this to km/s,

$v=21.013\frac{m}{s}\cdot\frac{3600s}{1h}\cdot\frac{1km}{1000m}\approx75.65km/h$

Hence, the speedometer reading of the car is 75.65 km/h, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
