A 6 kg block is released from rest at the top of an incline, as shown above, and slides to the bottom. The incline is 1.97 m lon

g, is inclined at an angle of 29.4°, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.21.
a. Calculate the normal force the incline puts on the block.

The net force on the block acting perpendicular to the incline is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(29.4°) = 0

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force and <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em> is the weight of the block.

The equation itself comes from splitting up the forces acting on the block into components pointing parallel or perpendicular to the incline. The only forces acting on the block in the perpendicular direction are the normal force and the perpendicular component of the block's weight.

Solve for <em>n</em> :

<em>n</em> = <em>m g</em> cos(29.4°)

<em>n</em> = (6 kg) (9.80 m/s²) cos(29.4°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 51.2 N

A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.60m and the horizontal
AysviL [449]

Answer:

v = 46.99 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground, is given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}           (1)

vx: horizontal component of the velocity

vy: vertical component of the velocity

The vertical component vy is calculated by using the following formula:

v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gh   (2)

vy: final velocity

voy: initial vertilal velocity = 0m/s  (because it is a semi parabolic motion)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

h: height = 1.60m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

v_y=2(9.8m/s^2)(1.60m)=31.36\frac{m}{s}

vx is calculated by using the information about the horizontal range of the ball:

R=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}    (3)

R: horizontal range of the ball = 20.0 m

You solve the previous equation for vo, the initial horizontal velocity:

v_o=R\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}=(20.0m)\sqrt{\frac{9.8m/s^2}{2(1.60m)}}\\\\v_o=35\frac{m}{s}

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory, hence, you have that

vx = vo = 35 m/s

Finally, you replace the values of vx and vy in the equation (1):

v=\sqrt{(35m/s)^2+(31.36m/s)^2}=46.99\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground is 46.99 m/s

What is the primary ingredient of power yoga?
LuckyWell [14K]
The primary ingredient of power yoga was said to be heated. The heat makes the power yoga so particularly effective as a physical therapy. The heat is primarily used in shaping glasses to any figures that the person may want to. Power yoga can practically provide more space for fluids to carry the nutrients and remove toxins
