Answer:
The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN
Explanation:
Mass of rock = 25 kg
Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Height = 42 m
Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.
PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN
The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN
Answer:
Acceleration = 2.35 m/
Speed = 8.67 m/s
Explanation:
The coefficient of friction , u =0.3
The angle of incline = 30°
The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.
weight along the incline = mg cos60° =
= 0.5 mg
Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg 
Friction along incline = 0.26 mg
Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg
Acceleration =
= 0.24 g = 2.35 m/
The height of incline = 8 m
Length of the inclined edge = 16 m


v= 8.67 m/s
The second law states that the total entropy can never decrese over time for an isolated system
