Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Question

A 50 kg mass that weighs 490 Newtons is pushed up a 20m lone ramp that is 2m high. (h). The force required to push the block up the ramp is 49 Newtons. Assume the ramp is frictionless. Don’t confuse mass with weight. Weight is a force and is equal to mg.

Answer each question with your work.

Calculate the velocity of the block when it reaches the bottom of ramp. (mgh=1/2mv²)

If the block is drop from the top of the ramp and fall straight down to the ground,how much kinetic energy will it have at the moment it strikes the ground? Note: many students will answer zero. Keep in mind we are talking about the moment just before it hits the ground. (mgh=1/2mv²)
