How much gravitational potential energy does the block have
when it gets to the top of the ramp ?

      (weight) x (height) = (15 N) x (0.2 m)  =  3 Joules .

If there were no friction, you would only need to do 3 Joules of work
to lift the block from the bottom to the top.

But the question says you actually have to do 4 Joules of work
to get the job done.

Friction stole one of your Joules along the way.

Choice-4 is not the correct one.
Choice-1 is the correct one.

===========================

Notice that the mass of the block is NOT  15 kg , and you
don't have to worry about gravity to answer this question.

The formula for potential energy is  (m)·(g)·(h) .
But (m·g) is just the WEIGHT, and the formula
is actually (weight)·(height).
The question GIVES us the weight of the block . . . 15 N .
So the potential energy at the top is just (15N)·(0.2m) = 3 Joules.

If you wanted to find a sample of fermium, which has an atomic number of 100, where would you look?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.

It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.

A 2.5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.7
Norma-Jean [14]

vf ^2 = kx^2/m = 56(0.75)^2 / 2.5 = 12.6


Therefore, v= 3.5 m/s.

O'Malley is riding on a bus which is moving at 10 m/s, and he throws a ball which he observes to be moving at 10 m/s relative to
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<em>20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Relative Motion </u>

Objects movement is always related to some reference. If you are moving at a constant speed, all the objects moving with you seem to be at rest from your reference, but they are moving at the same speed as you by an external observer.

If we are riding on a bus at 10 m/s and throw a ball which we see moving at 10 m/s in our same direction, then an external observer (called Ophelia) will see the ball moving at our speed plus the relative speed with respect to us, that is, at 20 m/s in the same direction of the bus.
