A small block travels up a frictionless incline that is at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The block has speed 5.04 m/s at the bottom of the incline. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2. How far up the incline (measured parallel to the surface of the incline) does the block travel before it starts to slide back down?

Respuesta :

Answer

s = 2.592 m

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the block = 5.04 m/s

angle of the inclination of the slope = 30.0°

final velocity = 0 m/s

to calculate the distance traveled by the vehicle

using equation of motion

v² - u² = 2 a s

a = - g sin θ

0 - 5.04² = 2 × (- g sin θ) × s

[tex]s = \dfrac{5.04^2}{2 \times 9.8 \times sin 30^0}[/tex]

s = 2.592 m

hence, the block will move a distance of 2.592 m

The distance traveled by the block before stopping on the inclination is 2.592 m.

Given to us

frictionless inclination angle = 30°,

Initial speed of the block = 5.04 m/s,

What is the acceleration of the block?

The acceleration of the block is at an angle of 30.0°,

[tex]a=-g\ sin\theta[/tex]

Substitute the values,

[tex]a = -9.80 \times Sin30^o[/tex]

a = -4.9 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the block as it climbs up is -4.9 m/s².

What is the distance traveled by the block?

The distance of the block can be found using the third equation of motion,

[tex]v^2-u^2 = 2as\\\\0^2-(5.04)^2 = 2 (-4.9) \times s\\\\s = 2.592\rm\ m[/tex]

Hence, the distance traveled by the block before stopping on the inclination is 2.592 m.
