A 15.0 kg crate, initially at rest, slides down a ramp 2.0 m long and inclined at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Using t

he work-kinetic energy theorem and disregarding friction, find the
velocity of the crate at the bottom of the ramp. (g = 9.81 m/s?)

The component of the crate's weight that is parallel to the ramp is the only force that acts in the direction of the crate's displacement. This component has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> sin(20.0°) = (15.0 kg) (9.81 m/s^2) sin(20.0°) ≈ 50.3 N

Then the work done by this force on the crate as it slides down the ramp is

<em>W</em> = <em>F d</em> = (50.3 N) (2.0 m) ≈ 101 J

The work-energy theorem says that the total work done on the crate is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Since it starts at rest, its initial kinetic energy is 0, so

<em>W</em> = <em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ^2

Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) = √(2 (101 J) / (2.0 m)) ≈ 10.0 m/s

Answer:

The total work that the rope does to Mangnus is - 5780 Jules.

Explanation:

By definition, the work is defined as:

W=F.d

Where F and d are the force and the total displacement. Note that in the definition the product is a scalar product since F and d are both vectors.  

Take into account that according to third Newton's law the force that the rope does to Magnus is opposite to the force that Magnus does to the rope, therefore the scalar product will be negative due the rope's force goes against to Magnus displacement.  

For calculating the work, we take 2500 N as the value for the force and 2.312 meters as the value for the displacement:

W=-2500 N * 2.312 m

W=-5780 Nm = -5780 J

The heating of Venus led to a further release of ______ from its surface. With nowhere for the greenhouse gas to go, Venus ended
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The answer would be B

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus traps in lots of what from the Sun, it is the hottest planet in our solar system because of this. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and traps in heat. So B would be your answer.

A star may form a black hole once it cannot ?
IceJOKER [234]

A star may form a black hole once is true. After the marked supernova explosion, the star shrinks because it sheds away the gaseous layers of the star. And especially if the star is large, it will form into a black hole.

A 20.0-µF capacitor is charged by a 150.0-V power supply, then disconnected from the power and connected in series with a 0.280
natali 33 [55]

Answer

given,

Capacitance of capacitor = 20.0-µF

Voltage =  150.0-V

inductance = 0.280 m H

a) the oscillation frequency of circuit

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\ sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\ sqrt{\dfrac{1}{0.280 \times 10^{-3}\times 20 \times 10^{-6}}}

f = 2126.9 Hz

b) U = \dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

   U = \dfrac{1}{2}(20\times 10^{-6})(150)^2

         U = 0.225 J

c)Current in the inductor

    V = L \dfrac{dI}{dt}

    150 = 0.28 \times 10^{-3} \dfrac{dI}{dt}

    \dfrac{dI}{dt} = 535714

instantaneous rate of change of current is equal to 535714 A/s
