Solving Inclined Plane Problem: Object Stopping Distance with Friction

AI Thread Summary
To solve the inclined plane problem, the object starts at rest on a frictionless incline and slides down, converting potential energy into kinetic energy. The object then encounters friction on the horizontal surface, which affects its stopping distance. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400, and the incline's angle is 30 degrees. Applying the conservation of energy principle and calculating the forces involved will yield the horizontal distance the object travels before stopping. Understanding these concepts is crucial for determining the stopping distance accurately.

Homework Statement



An Object with a mass of 10.0kg is at rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plane of length 8.00m and an angle of inclination 30.0 with the horizontal. The object is released from this position and it stops at a distance d from the bottom of the inclined plane along a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction for the horizontal surface is 0.400. At what horizontal distance from the bottom of the inclined plane will this object stop?

Draw the diagram for initial and final position for the object. Use law of conservation of energy at the top and distace d from the bottom.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
