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.

Softa [21]

Answer:

955.5N

Explanation:

The normal force is given by the difference between the centripetal force and gravity at the top of the loop:

F_N = F_C - F_G = m\frac{v^{2} }{r} - mg

mass m = 65kg

radius of the loop r = 4m

velocity v = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find the centripetal force, you need to find the velocity of the car at the top of the loop.

Use energy conservation:

E_{tot}=mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

At the top of the hill:

E_{tot}= mgh_{hill}

At the top of the loop:

E_{tot}=mgh_{loo}_p +\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Setting both energies equal and canceling the mass m gives:

gh_{hill} = gh_{loo}_p + \frac{1}{2} v^{2}

Solving for v:

v^{2} = 2g(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)

Using v in the first equation:

F_N = \frac{2mg(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)}{r} - mg

F_N = 955.5N

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

Help with Order of Magnitude question?
solong [7]
The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
 
                  C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
                   C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.
