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

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, Vi and Ui are its initial vertical and horizontal components

R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi   = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui  = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s

To find:

Max Height h achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the 3^{rd} equation of motion, we know

2*a*s = Vf^{2}  - Vi^{2}

2) In terms of gravity g height h and  the vertical component of Velocity Vf , Vi.

3) As Vf = 0 as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

2*g*h = Vf^{2}  -Vi^{2}

putting values

4) h = 0.784 m/s

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

How is the force of gravity mathematically related to the factors<br> that answer Question I?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

masha68 [24]

This is an example of Uniform Speed

EXPLANATION

Uniform Speed => no change in speed

Uniform Accelerations Speed => There is a change in speed, but the acceleration remains the same.
