Answer:
A.) 8 m/s
B.) 7.0 m
Explanation:
Given that a block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane.
(a) What is its velocity when it reaches the top of the plane?
Since the plane is frictionless, the final velocity V will be the same as 8 m/s
The velocity will be 8 m/s as it reaches the top of the plane.
(b) How far horizontally does it land after it leaves the plane?
For frictionless plane,
a = gsinø
Acceleration a = 9.8sin28
Acceleration a = 4.6 m/s^2
Using the third equation of motion
V^2 = U^2 - 2as
Substitute the a and the U into the equation. Where V = 0
0 = 8^2 - 2 × 4.6 × S
9.2S = 64
S = 64/9.2
S = 6.956 m
S = 7.0 m
