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.

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
