An
object of mass 5.9 kg moves along a flat surface and then up an incline with a steepness of 7.8°.
If the object is moving with a speed of 12.6 m-s¹ along the flat surface, how fast is it moving (in m-s¹) after it has travelled 2.2 m along the incline?
Assume that the incline is frictionless, and ignore air resistance.
A crate slides down a ramp.
Once reaching the bottom of the ramp, the crate slides 15 m horizontally across the floor to a wall.
The crate reaches the wall 2.5 s after leaving the ramp.
If the ramp is at an elevation angle of 15°, how long is the ramp?
Ignore friction.
The force acting on a particle is F - (10x – 17) N, where x is in meters.
