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

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

Which of the following objects cannot make a shadow? Broken piece of glass from a window/wooden pane of the same window? Explain
Lorico [155]

Answer:

broken pieces of glass from a window can't form a shadow.

Explanation:

the reason is that shadow is formed only when light rays hits an opaque object, which doesn't let light to pass through it, but glass is a transparent object, hence light rays passes through it forming no shadow..

A rock is placed into a graduated cylinder containing 80 mL of water. What is the volume of the rock if the water level rises to
erastovalidia [21]
Ok so the expression that you will be doing is water-water+object. The actual expression is 120-80. The answer would be 40mL. Remember, don't forget your units! :)

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

13.33 or 13 1/3m/s (meters per second)

Explanation:

In physics, we use the basic units of meters and seconds. So first convert (km) into meters (m) and also hours and minutes into seconds (s). We end up with 120000m and 9000s. Then divide the 120000m by the 9000s and you end up with 13.33 or 13 1/3 m/s.

In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because _____.
pickupchik [31]
In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction. 
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.
