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.

Explain why the speed of light is lower than<br> 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.
jekas [21]

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

How Can the human ear detect the sound
mart [117]

Answer:

Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear.
