Answer: B

Explanation:

Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m.

The parameters given from the question are:

Mass M = 2kg

Height h = 20m

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.

From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E

Maximum P.E = mgh

Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J

But

K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula

392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2

V^2 = 392

V = sqrt( 392 )

V = 19.8 m/s

V = 20 m/s approximately

A high school physics student is sitting in a seat read-

The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

$N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}$
