Question

A crate sliding down a ramp. A 3 kg crate slides down a ramp at a loading dock. The ramp is 1 m long and inclines at a 30 degree angle. The crate starts from rest at the top, experiences a constant frictional force of magnitude 5.0 N, and continues to move a short distance on the flat floor. Determine the speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp.

Determine the speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp.

Explanation / Answer

Given Mass , m = 3.0kg length , s = 1.0 m Angle is 30^0 From the fig sin30 = h/1m h = 0.5 m By law of conservation of energy mgh = 1/2mv^2 - fr *s 3.0kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *0.5 m = 0.5 * 3.0kg *v^2 - 5N *1m v = 3.6 m/s is the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp
