A 2.0kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30°angle. The block’s initial speed is 10m/s.

a. What vertical height does the block reach above its starting point?

b. What speed does it have when it slides back down to its starting point?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). Vertical height the block reach above it starting point is h=3.79m

b). Speed it slides back down to its starting pointvf=7.0m/s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The weight of wood block is 2.0kg

Inclined angle of ramp 30°

Initial speed is 10m/s

02

Step 2. Part a). Finding the vertical height

The coefficient of kinetic friction between two wood is0.20

vf2=vi2+2a∆s

vi=10m/s and thevf=0

m/s we can solve for acceleration.

Solving for summation of forces horizontally with respect to the wooden ramp that is inclined for 30°

∑F=0ma-fk-mgsin(30°)=0ma=μkmgcos(30°)+mgsin(30°)a=g(μkmgcos(30°)+sin(30°))a=6.60m/s2vf2=vi2+2a∆s∆s=vf2+vi22a∆s=(10)2+022(6.60)∆s=7.58m

∆sis the distance traveled by the block

sin(30°)=∆shh=sin30°×∆sh=3.79m

03

Step 3. Part b). Finding the vertical height 

Compute the acceleration going down the ramp

∑F=0ma+mgsin(30°)-fk=0ma+mgsin(30°)-μkmgcos(30°)=0a=μkgcos(30°)-gsin(30°)a=g(μkcos(30°)-sin(30°))a=-3.20m/s2

Let's calculate the final velocity when it slides back down

vf2=vi2+2a∆svf2=0+2(-3.20)(7.58)vf=2-3.20(7.58)vf=7.0m/s

Very small objects, such as dust particles, experience a linear drag force,F→duag=(bv, direction opposite the motion), where bis a constant. That is, the quadratic model of drag of Equation 6.15fails for very small particles. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be shown to be b=6πηR, where ηis the viscosity of the gas.

a. Find an expression for the terminal speedvtermof a spherical particle of radius Rand mass mfalling through a gas of viscosity η.

The piston of a machine exerts a constant force on a ball as it moves horizontally through a distance of 15cm. You use a motion detector to measure the speed of five different balls as they come off the piston; the data are shown in the table. Use theory to find two quantities that, when graphed, should give a straight line. Then use the graph to find the size of the piston’s force.
