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

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
