You release a block from the top of a long, slippery inclined plane of length l that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The m

agnitude of the block's acceleration is gsin(θ).
1- For an x axis pointing down the incline and having its origin at the release position, derive an expression for the potential energy of the block-Earth system as a function of x. Suppose that the gravitational potential energy is measured relative to the ground at the bottom of the incline, UG(x=l)=0.
Express your answer in terms of g and the variables m, l, x, and θ.
(U^G=?)
2-
Use the expression you derived in the previous part to determine the speed of the block at the bottom of the incline. (Vx,f=?)
Express your answer in terms of g and the variables m, l, and θ.

Answer:

potential enrgy   U = m g L sin θ

speed     V = √(2g L sin θ)

Explanation:

The expression for the gravitational potential energy of a body is

                    U = mg Y - mg Yo

Where Y give us a constant initial energy from which the differences are measured, for general simplicity it is selected as zero, Yo= 0

What we find an expression for height, let's use trigonometry

                       sin  θ= Y / L

                       Y = l sin θ

   We substitute in the power energy equation

                     U = m g L sin θ

                         

2. The mechanical energy of the system is conserved, so we will write the mechanical energy at two points the highest and the lowest

Highest           Em = U

Lower              Em = K

                         U = K

                         m g L sin θ = ½ m v²

                         V = √(2g L sin θ)

Suppose Tom Harmon17 is standing at the exact center of the Ohio State football field18 on the 50 yard line. The field is 300 fe
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t ,  z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²,   b)     x = 80 feet ,  y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field  

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis

Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system

          x₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0

          z₀ = 6 feet

x-axis (towards end zone,  GOAL zone)

         x = xo + v₀ₓ t

        x = 40 t

y-axis (field width)

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t

        y = 39 t

z axis (vertical)

        z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²

b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive

          z = 6

          6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²

          (t - 2)t  = 0

           t=0 s

           t= 2 s

The ball position

          x = 40 2

          x = 80 feet

           

          y = 39 2

          y = 78 feet

the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are

             x_total = 150 feet

             y _total = 80 feet

so we can see that the ball came into the field

Current is the movement of negative charges called protons.<br> A. True<br> B. False
Kruka [31]

Answer: Option B) False

Explanation:

Current is the movement of negative charges called electrons. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the three subatomic particles that make up particles of the conductors that transmit current, however electrons are negatively charged and their gain or loss determines movement of electric current.

Thus, the statement is false

Which of these best explains the ability of small insects to walk on the surface of still water?
Furkat [3]
Well, the surface of still water has surface tension. If there isn't enough mass or weight to break the surface tension, the object will float.
