Answer:

0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

In a projectile motion, the kinetic energy (KE) of the projectile is converted to gravitational potential energy (GPE) and then from GPE back to KE.

In this example, the spring toy is the projectile. Refer to the diagram attached.

  • The spring toy started with a velocity of 12\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}, meaning that its initial KE is non-zero.
  • On the way up, the KE of this spring toy gets converted to GPE.
  • At the top of the trajectory, the GPE of this toy is maximized while its KE is minimized (zero).
  • As the toy returns to the ground, the GPE of this toy gets converted back to KE.
  • The GPE of this toy is zero when the toy is on the ground.

In other words, the kinetic energy (KE) of this toy would be 0 when it is at the top of the trajectory and GPE is maximized.

Since the KE of this toy at the top of the trajectory would be 0, the velocity of this toy at that moment would also be 0\!.

A 50.0-kg block is being pulled up a 16.0° slope by a force of 250 n that is parallel to the slope. the coefficient of kinetic
Drupady [299]
When dealing with multiple forces acting on a body, it is advisable to draw a free-body diagram like that shown in the picture. There are four forces acting on the box: weight (W) pointing straight down, normal force perpendicular to the slope denoted as Fn, force used to push the box upwards along the slope and the frictional force acting opposite to the direction of motion of the box denoted as Ff. Frictional force is equal to coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) multiplied with Fn.

∑Fy = Fn - mgcos30° = 0
           Fn = (50)(9.81)(cos 16) = 471.5 N

When in motion, the net force is equal to mass times acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

Fnet = F - μk*Fn - mgsin30° = ma
          250 - (0.2)(471.5 N) - (50)(sin 16°) = (50)(a)
          a = 2.84 m/s²
