A block is released to slide down a frictionless incline of 15∘ and then it encounters a frictional surface with a coefficient o

f kinetic friction μk = 0.16
A)Choose the appropriate Conservation of Energy equation used to find the horizontal distance traveled on the frictional surface before the block stops if the length of the incline (d) is known.

Which is PEg+Work=0


Need help on B.

B)Find the position where the block stops on the horizontal frictional surface is the block has a mass of 25 kg and the length of the incline is 20.4 m .

The block's potential energy at the top of the incline (at a height h from the horizontal surface) is equal to its kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline, so that

mgh = 1/2 mv²

where v is its speed at the bottom of the incline. It follows that

v = √(2gh)

If the incline is 20.4 m long, that means the block has a starting height of

sin(15°) = h/(20.4 m)   ⇒   h = (20.4 m) sin(15°) ≈ 5.2799 m

and so the block attains a speed of

v = √(2gh) ≈ 10.1728 m/s

The block then slides to a rest over a distance d. Kinetic friction exerts a magnitude F over this distance and performs an amount of work equal to Fd. By the work-energy theorem, this quantity is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy, so that

Fd = 0 - 1/2 mv²   ⇒   d = (-1293.58 J)/F

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block as it slides is

∑ F [vertical] = n - mg = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force, so that

n = mg = (25 kg) g = 245 N

and thus the magnitude of friction is

F = -0.16 (245 N) = -39.2 N

(negative since it opposes the block's motion)

Then the block slides a distance of

d = (-1293.58 J) / (-39.2 N) ≈ 32.9994 m ≈ 33 m

The movement of protons through atp synthase occurs from the
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.

Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. the mass of ball a is twice that of ball b
Sindrei [870]
The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
m_a = 2 m_b
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (U_a = m_a gh=2 m_b gh) is twice the potential energy of ball b (U_b = m_b  g h):
U_a = 2 U_b
When the two balls reach the ground, the potential energy of each ball has converted into kinetic energy (since now their altitude is h=0), because the total mechanical energy of each ball must be  conserved. Therefore:
K_a = U_a
K_b = U_b
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:
K_a = 2 K_b

VARVARA [1.3K]
You would expect to find the center of gravity in a ruler in the middle because if you were to cut a ruler in half, depending on the center of gravity, you would have two equal pieces, which mean there is equal weight, meaning the middle is the center of gravity
