A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

but made of different materials, are released from rest at a vertical height h above the bottom of the ramp. In each case the coefficient of static friction is small enough that the blocks start to slide down the ramp as soon as they are released. You are asked to find h so that each block will have a speed of 4.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. You are given these coefficients of sliding (kinetic) friction for different pairs of materials.
Material 1 Material 2 Coefficient of Sliding Friction
Cast iron Cast iron 0.15
Cast iron Copper 0.29
Cast iron Lead 0.43
Cast iron Zinc 0.85

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

What is a conservative force?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken Equivalently if a particle travels in a closed loop the total work done by a conservative force is zero

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!

20 kg object travels 28 meter and stops. coefficient friction= 0.085 how much work was done by friction?
Tresset [83]
Assuming it is on a horizontal surface:
friction = μR
R = 20g (g is gravity 9.81)
so Friction = 0.085 x 20g
Work done is force x distance 
so Work done = 0.085 x 20g x 28
 = 466.956 J
