Calculating Work and Distance on an Inclined Plane

AI Thread Summary
A box with a mass of 4.0 kg is pushed up a 30-degree inclined plane using 128J of energy, while experiencing a kinetic friction of 0.30. The normal force is calculated to be 33.98N, leading to a frictional force of 10.194N. The gravitational force component acting down the incline is 19.6N, resulting in a net retarding force of 29.794N when both forces are combined. Using the work-energy principle, the distance traveled by the box until it stops is determined to be 4.29 meters. This calculation highlights the effects of friction and incline on the motion of the box.

Homework Statement


There is a plane inclined 30degree. A box with 4.0kg mass is pushed up the plane with 128J. The kinetic friction between the plane and the box is 0.30. What is the distance will the box traveled until it stops?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


Fn=MG Cos theta
= 4.0 x 9.8 x cos30
= 33.98N

Friction force = 33.98N x 0.30
= 10.194N

F = mg sin theta
= 4 x 9.8 x sin30
= 19.6N

19.6N - 10.194N = 9.406N

E = Fd

128J = 9.406N x d
d = 13.61M


i need help urgently :(

anyone? pls...
 
Mass is pushed up the plane. Therefore the frictional force acts in the direction of mg sin theta. Hence net retarding force is = 19.6N + 10.194N

yeah, i got that , the displacement is 4.29meter

thx a lot
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
