A 4 kg block is launched up a 30° ramp with an initial speed of 5 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and

the ramp is 0.25. What is the speed of the block (in m/s) when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp?

Answer:

The speed of the block when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp is 6.56 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m =  4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.25

angle of inclination, θ = 30°

initial speed of the block, u = 5 m/s

From Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

a = F/m

Net horizontal force;

∑F = mgsinθ + μkmgcosθ

a = \frac{F_{NET}}{m} = \frac{mgsin \theta + \mu_kmgcos \theta}{m} \\\\a = gsin \theta + \mu_kgcos \theta\\\\a = 9.8sin (30) + 0.25*9.8cos(30)\\\\a = 4.9 + 2.1217\\\\a = 7.022 \ m/s^2

At the  top of the ramp, energy is conserved;

Kinetic energy = potential energy

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂ v² = gh

¹/₂ x 5² = 9.8h

12.5 = 9.8h

h = 12.5/9.8

h = 1.28 m

Height of the ramp is 1.28 m

Now, calculate the speed of the block (in m/s) when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp;

v² = u² + 2ah

v²  = 5² + 2 x 7.022 x 1.28

v²  = 25 + 17.976

v²  = 42.976

v = √42.976

v = 6.56 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block when it has returned to the bottom of the ramp is 6.56 m/s.

vazorg [7]
The cart experiences a frictional force which is directly proportional to its weight. This means that there must be a force applied on the car to balance the forces on the car to produce a net force of 0.
This is in accordance to Newton's first law which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. The force must be a resultant force.
Therefore, the force needed increases with the total weight of the cart as well as with the added mass in a linear manner.

Glucose is a simple sugar.

Its chemical formula is  C₆ H₁₂ O₆ .

That tells you that every glucose molecule is made of 6 atoms of carbon,
12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen.

A girl moves quickly to the center of a spinning merry-go-round, traveling along the radius of the merry-go-round. Which of the
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The angular speed of the system increases.

The moment of inertia of the system decreases.

Explanation:

As we know that the girl is going towards the center of the circle so here the moment of inertia of the girl is given as

I = mr^2

here we know that

r = position of the girl from the center of the disc

now we know that the girl is moving towards the center so its distance will continuously decreasing

So the moment of inertia of the girl will decrease

Now we know that that with respect to the center of the disc there is no torque on the disc + girl system

So here we can use angular momentum conservation

So we have

I\omega = constant

since moment of inertia is decreasing for the system

so angular speed will increase

larisa86 [58]
Use the Pythagoras for the magnitude and the tan^-1 x = -1 for the angle

displacement = 4^2 + 4^2 = 32 = 4 sqrt(2) =  5.65 km

angle is 135 degrees.
