A 16.0 kg child on roller skates, initially at rest, rolls 2.0 m down an incline at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. If th

The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the child, m = 16 kg</em>
  • <em>Length of the incline, L = 2 m</em>
  • <em>Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰</em>

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.

What is epsilon zero and why does it come into use, particularly in the case of Gauss's Law?
Paha777 [63]
<span>Epsilon zero is permittivity of free space means how much air or vacuum permits electric field to travel from one charge to other.It is constant in the coulomb law. This allow Gauss's a lot easier to solve rather than using K</span>
