A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined

plane then stopped. It is expected that the block to start sliding back down the inclined plane but it did not. It just sat there near the top. What is your explanation why the block stopped and did not begin sliding again?

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction  was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

A man throws a ball straight up to his friend on a balcony who catches it at its highest point. The ball was thrown with an init
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 17.9 m/s

the final velocity of the ball at the maximum height, v = 0

The maximum height reached by the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

During upward motion, gravity is negative

v² = u² + 2(-g)h

v² = u² -  2gh

0 = u² -  2gh

2gh = u²

h = u² / 2g

h = (17.9)² / (2 x 9.8)

h = 16.35 m

Ttherefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.35 m.

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Height h= 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5×0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7×0.0254= 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 =1.7 m

Height h= 1.7 m
