<em>friction transforms KE into thermal energy (a)</em>
That's why, if it goes on long enough, the moving object actually gets warm.
Answer:
5. Is greater than mg, always
Explanation:
If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:
x-axis (centripetal axis):
N*sin β = m*ax where ax is the centripetal acceleration
y-axis:
N*cos β - m*g = m*ay where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.
Solving for N:

If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.
If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.
Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) K.E. = 21.168 J
(d) 
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
- initial velocity of the block,

- constant downward acceleration,

That a constant upward acceleration of
is applied in the presence of gravity.
∴
- height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m
(a)
Force by the cord on the block,



∴Work by the cord on the block,


We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

(b)
Force on the block due to gravity:

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it


∴Work by the gravity on the block,



(c)
Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.
mathematically:


K.E. = 21.168 J
(d)
From the equation of motion:

putting the respective values:

is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.
