Answer:
Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.
Potential energy loss:
M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J
Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:
= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J
Momentum describes an object in motion and is determined by the product of two variables: mass and velocity. Mass -- the weight of an object -- is usually measured in kilograms or grams for momentum problems. Velocity is the measure of distance traveled over time and is normally reported in meters per second. Examining the possible changes in these two variables identifies the different effects momentum can have on an object in motion.
Answer:
metre for length and the kilogram for Mass
