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.

Choose the 200 kg refrigerator. Set the applied force to 400 N (to the right). Be sure friction is turned off.What is the net fo
White raven [17]
So, there should be two forces acting on the refrigerator: the applied force and the friction force.

The question mentioned that the friction force was set to zero, so the only effective force now would be the applied force.

We have an applied force of 400 N to the right, this means that:

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage   ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

so

current by toaster is

I = \frac{1140}{120}

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = \frac{270}{120}

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = \frac{80}{120}

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

A CFL bulb has an efficiency of 8.9% and a power of 22 W. How much light energy does the lightbulb produce in 1 second
hjlf
The power that the light is able to utilize out of the supply is only 0.089 of the given.
                           Power utilized = (0.089)(22 W)
                                                  = 1.958 W
                                                  = 1.958 J/s
The energy required in this item is the product of the power utilized and the time. That is,
                           Energy = (1.958 J/s)(1 s) = 1.958 J
Thus, the light energy that the bulb is able to produce is approximately 1.958 J.
