A 2.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R = 3.0 m. T

he block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest a distance D from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is a coefficient of friction, μ = 0.5, on the horizontal plane. Determine the velocity of the box at maximum kinetic energy

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>

<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)

<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J

Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>

58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²

<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))

<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.
