Answer

mass of the block = 4.10 Kg

distance of slide = 2.1 m

angle of inclination = 30.0°

μ_k be equal to 0.436

a) Work done by the gravity

  W = \mu_k m g sin \theta \times d

  W =0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times  sin 30^0 \times 2.1

  W =19.39\ J

b) Work done due to friction = \mu N L

                              =  -\mu m g cos \theta L

                              =  -0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times cos 30^0 \times 2.1

                              = -31.86 J

c) work done by the normal force = 0 J

Since normal force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

d) for steeper angle

   sin θ value is high

   cos θ value is less

   work done by gravity on steeper angle is more

   work done by frictional force will on steeper angle is less

   work done by normal force is zero

An object falls from the top of a building that is 25 m high. Air resistance is negligible.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>

Given that we can write that;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height

v^2 = 2gh

v = √2 * 9.8 * 25

v = 22.1 m/s

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s?
larisa86 [58]

As per the question, the distance travelled by bobsled [s] = 100 m

The time taken by the bobsled to travel that distance [t] = 25 s

We are asked to calculate the speed of the bobsled.

The speed of the bobsled is calculated as -

                                            speed\ =\ \frac{distance}{time}

                                            v\ =\ \frac{s}{t}

                                                   =\frac{100\ m}{25\ s}

                                                   =\ 4\ m/s

Hence, the correct answer to the question is A. 4 m/s.

Calculate the potential energy of a 20-kg sled at 40 meters
irakobra [83]

Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N
