A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of

the incline, and its speed after it has traveled 7.80 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s .What is the speed of the block when it is 5.00 m from the top of the incline? Please show the detailed formulas utilized to obtain the final answere

Answer:

The speed of the block when it is 5.00 m from the top of the incline is 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given information:

s = 7.80 m

v = 3.8 m/s

if s = 5 m, v?

first we have to find the acceleration of the block using the following equation:

v² = v₀² + 2as, v₀² = 0 thus

3.8² = 2 a 7.8

a = 0.93

so, if s = 5m the final speed is

v² = 2 (0.93) (5)

= 9.26

v = √9.26

= 3.04 m/s
