A 3.00-kg crate slides down a ramp. the ramp is 1.00 m in length and inclined at an angle of 30.08 as shown in the figure. The crate starts from rest at the top, experiences a constant friction force of magnitude 5.00 N, and continues to move a short distance on the horizontal floor after it leaves the ramp.

Explanation:

A 3.00-kg crate slides down a ramp. the ramp is 1.00 m in length and inclined at an angle of 30° as shown in the figure. The crate starts from rest at the top, experiences a constant friction force of magnitude 5.00 N, and continues to move a short distance on the horizontal floor after it leaves the ramp. Use energy methods to determine the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp.

Solution:

The work done by friction is given as:

The work done by gravity is:

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

f=ma newton

f=100x2.5=250n
