Question
As shown in the figure below, a 2.25 kg block is released from rest on a ramp of height h = 0.650 m. When the block is released, it slides without friction to the bottom of the ramp, and then continues across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 15.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction μ = 0.800. Find the block’s kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch.

- As shown in the figure below, a 2.25-kg block is released from rest on a ramp of height h. When the block is released, it slides without friction to the bottom of the ramp, and then continues across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 15.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction u, = 0.730. Find h such that the block's speed after crossing the rough patch is 3.70 m/s. rough patch 15.0 cmarrow_forwardIn celebration of a goal, a soccer player, who weighs 71.0 kg, slides on the ground. Before coming to a halt, the player travels at a speed of 3.90 m/s at the commencement of the slide's descent. The player and the ground have a coefficient of friction of 0.700. In order to determine how much energy the player has lost or gained throughout the slide, we must first calculate her change in mechanical energy (in J). When the player slides, how far (in meters) does it travel?arrow_forwardA 1.50-kg block at rest on a ramp of height h. When the block is released, it slides without friction to the bottom of the ramp, and then continues across a surface that is frictionless except for a rough patch of width 10.0 cm that has a coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.60. Using conservation of energy, find h such that the block’s speed after crossing the rough patch is 3.50 m/s.arrow_forward
- The Super Sled travels with an initial kinetic energy of 3369 J horizontally and to the right along a frictionless flat surface, initially at a height of zero (initial gravitational potential energy = 0). The driver briefly engages the rocket over a distance (Ax) of 2.000 m, pushing the sled with a force of 400.0 N over that distance. The rocket is then turned off. The sled then goes up an inclined surface with a rough surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is uk. At the top of the incline, the sled reaches a height h = 1.500 m above the ground where the surface becomes flat and frictionless again. The sled (including the rocket and driver) has a total mass of 87.00 kg. (Notes: assume that g = 9.810 m/s² , and that the mass of fuel used by the rocket is negligible.
