Answer:
The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules
Explanation:
The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;
The mass of the object = 10 kg
The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters
The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp
Where;
The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h
m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m
Therefore, we have;
P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules
The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules
Answer:
0.51 m
Explanation:
Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.
Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²
Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring
Potential energy, PE=mgh
Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass
Equating KE=PE
mgh=½kx²
Making x the subject of formula
Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then
kinetic energy is Movement energy
think of it like the Xbox Kinect
Friction is causing the skateboard to stop rolling.
