ck and the
surface of the incline. A 2 kg block is placed at the top of the incline at a height of 1.8 m, as shown in the figure. After the block is released
from rest, the block slides down the incline and a motion detector at the bottom of the incline measures the block's speed as 5.8 after the
block is no longer on the incline. Which of the following claims is correct about the experimental substance?
The experimental substance reduced all the frictional force because all the gravitational potential energy of the Earth-block
system at the top of the incline was converted into the kinetic energy of the block at the bottom of the incline.
The experimental substance did not reduce all the frictional force because some of the gravitational potential energy of the
Earth-block system at the top of the incline was converted into nonmechanical energy
с
The effectiveness of the experimental substance cannot be determined because the speed of the block at the bottom of the
inline, as measured by the motion detector, indicates that the block has more energy at this location than the Earth-block
system had at the top of the incline.
D
The effectiveness of the experimental substance cannot be determined without knowing the magnitude of the frictional
force between the block and the incline before and after the experimental substance was applied to the incline.
