Answer:
The wood block reaches a height of 4.249 meters above its starting point.
Explanation:
The block represents a non-conservative system, since friction between wood block and the ramp is dissipating energy. The final height that block can reach is determined by Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem. Let suppose that initial height has a value of zero and please notice that maximum height reached by the block is when its speed is zero.



(1)
Where:
- Maximum height of the wood block, in meters.
- Initial speed of the block, in meters per second.
- Kinetic coefficient of friction, no unit.
- Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.
- Mass, in kilograms.
- Distance travelled by the wood block along the wooden ramp, in meters.
- Inclination of the wooden ramp, in sexagesimal degrees.
If we know that
,
and
, then the height reached by the block above its starting point is:


The wood block reaches a height of 4.249 meters above its starting point.
Correct answer is D.
Explanation:
A) is not correct answer because this type of theory can not become law. Laws are properties that are same in any part of universe. Nebular theory is not correct for every part of universe.
B) is not correct answer because this theory could be replaced if some evidence show that some other theory is more likely to be correct.
C) is not correct answer because the study has been done on other nebulas in our galaxy. There are many nebulas and by obserwing them this theory was developed.
