Answer:
The sum of PE and KE remains constant
Explanation:
First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²
Weight = (14 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
Weight = 137.2 N
The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle.
Weight = (137.2 N)(sin 52°)
weight = 108.1 N
Answer: 2940 J
Explanation: solution attached:
PE= mgh
Substitute the values:
PE= 10kg x 9.8 m/s² x 30 m
= 2940 J
