Answer:
Explanation:
Since the surface is frictionless therefore there will be no friction force on block but there will be weight of block which we can divide in to two components i.e. mgcosθ &mgsinθ which is perpendicular and parallel to the surface respectively.
In response to mgcosθ ramp will apply a normal force to the block which will be of equal magnitude to that of mgcosθ.
Therefore Ramp will apply a Force of mgcosθ on block where m is the mass of block.
The potential energy of the block is A) 490 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field.
It is calculated as follows:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object above the ground
For the block in this problem, we have:
m = 10 kg
h = 5 m
Therefore, its potential energy is:
