The maximum is 1800 J since energy is not created nor destroyed, it is just transformed. In this example, gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.
Answer:
θ = 29.38°
Explanation:
The centripetal force is given by the formula;
F_c = F_n(sin θ) = mv²/r
Now, the vertical component of the normal force is; F_n(cos θ)
Now, this vertical component is also expressed as; F_n(cos θ) = mg
Thus, the slope is;
F_n(sin θ)/F_n(cos θ) = (mv²/r)/mg
tan θ = v²/rg
v² = rg(tan θ)
The initial speed will be gotten from the relation;
(v_o)² = μ_s(gr)
Plugging rg(tan θ) for (v_o)², we have;
μ_s(gr) = rg(tan θ)
rg will cancel out to give;
μ_s = (tan θ)
Thus, θ = tan^(-1) μ_s
μ_s is coefficient of static friction given as 0.563
θ = tan^(-1) 0.563
θ = 29.38°
(c) as the change in the dependent variable is in direct CORRELATION to the change in the independent variable.
First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s
