How much gravitational potential energy does the block have
when it gets to the top of the ramp ?

(weight) x (height) = (15 N) x (0.2 m) = 3 Joules .

If there were no friction, you would only need to do 3 Joules of work
to lift the block from the bottom to the top.

But the question says you actually have to do 4 Joules of work
to get the job done.

Friction stole one of your Joules along the way.

Choice-4 is not the correct one.
Choice-1 is the correct one.

===========================

Notice that the mass of the block is NOT 15 kg , and you
don't have to worry about gravity to answer this question.

The formula for potential energy is (m)·(g)·(h) .
But (m·g) is just the WEIGHT, and the formula
is actually (weight)·(height).
The question GIVES us the weight of the block . . . 15 N .
So the potential energy at the top is just (15N)·(0.2m) = 3 Joules.

A 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do

Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.

The time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 km/h to driv

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

$\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}$

$t=\frac{14\times3}{23}$

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

A 350-g baseball is shot out of a small cannon with a velocity of 9.0 m/s. The baseball flies horizontally at a constant height

stira [4]

Answer:

$9.5 kg m^2/s$

Explanation:

The angular momentum of an object is given by:

$L=mvr$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

r is the distance of the object from axis of rotation

Here we have:

m = 350 g = 0.35 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 9.0 m/s is the velocity

r = 3.0 m is the distance of the object from axis of rotation (if we take the ground as the centre of rotation)

Therefore, the angular momentum is:

$L=(0.35)(9.0)(3.0)=9.5 kg m^2/s$

What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the diagram?

Marina86 [1]

The amplitude is from the absolute value of the 0 point on the y-axis to the highest(peak) or lowest(troph) point of the wave. In this question, 3cm is the highest and -3cm is the lowest, so the amplitude is 3cm.
