4.A child of mass 30kg skates down from the top of a ramp having a constant slope of 15^(@). The child's speed increases from 1.5ms^(-1) to 3.0ms^(-1) as she reaches the bottom of the ramp.A force of kinetic friction of magnitude 50N opposes her motion.Draw the appropriate force diagram and determine the length of the ramp. Take g=10ms^(-2) . |
| Answer» E length of the RAMP is S = 21.12 mExplanation:CONSIDERING the force acting parallel to the ramp from the diagram 30 g sin(15°) - 50 =30 a Where a is the acceleration of the box, a = 0.87 ms^-2 To FIND the the length of the ramp s, Applying equation v^2 = u^2+2as 13^2 = 11.5^ 2 + 2 × 0.87 × s Applying equation S = 21.12 mThus the length of the ramp is S = 21.12 m | |
