Homework Statement
A 3.50 kg block slides 3.40 m down a long 15 degrees inclines ramp. the coefficient of friction between the block and the ramp is 0.30. find the following: (a) the work done on the block by friction (b) the work done on the block by gravity (c) the work done on the block by the normal force (d) the total work done on the block. If the block has a speed of 5.0 mps at the top of the ramp, (e) find its speed after sliding 3.40 m down the ramp.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Wfk - work by friction
Wg - work by gravity
Wn - work by normal force
Wt - total work
(a) -0.30*(3.50*9.8*sin 15) = Wfk
(b) Wg = (3.50*9.8*cos 15) = Wg
(c) 3.5*9.8*sin 15 = Wn
(d) Wfk + Wg + Wn = Wt
(e) ?
am I correct with the solutions that I made. I feel like I made something wrong and how do you find (e)? pls tell me.
