A small block has constant acceleration as it slides down a frictionless incline. The block is released from rest at the top of the incline, and its speed after it has travelled 6.80 m to the bottom of the incline is 3.80 m/s. What is the speed of the block when it is 3.40 m from the top of the incline?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Speed when travelling is top of the incline= 2.687 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

  • Speed when travelling is bottom of the incline=3.80 m/s.
  • Distance travelled = 6.80 m.
02

calculation for the speed

Total speed is calculated by using ,

v2=u2+(2×a×s)

Where, v= final velocity, u=initial velocity, a=acceleration due to gravity, and s=distance travelled

Substituting the values ,

3.82=0+(2×a×6.80)a=0.941

Now using the value of a for calculation of speed when distance travelled is3.40 m,

Substituting the given values,

v2=0+(2×0.941×3.40)v2=6.3988v=6.3988v=2.687m/s

Thus, the final speed of the block isv=2.687m/s

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=αt2-βt3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" α=1.50 m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" β=0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

The most powerful engine available for the classic 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray developed 360 horsepower and had a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Express this displacement in liters (L) by using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm.

A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home. Her distance from her house as a function of time is shown in Fig. E2.10 At which of the labeled points is her velocity (a) zero? (b) constant and positive? (c) constant and negative? (d) increasing in magnitude? (e) decreasing in magnitude?

A rubber hose is attached to a funnel, and the free end is bent around to point upward. When water is poured into the funnel, it rises in the hose to the same level as in the funnel, even though the funnel has a lot more water in it than the hose does. Why? What supports the extra weight of the water in the funnel?

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?
