A 5 kg block is projected up an inclined plane making an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The initial speed of the block is 5 m/s. If the plane is friction-less, the block will rise along the incline to a distance of

Step 1
The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2 * mass * velocity^2. So, the initial kinetic energy is 1/2 * 5 kg * (5 m/s)^2 = 62.5 Joules. As the block moves up the incline, it loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy. The potential energy at the highest point Show more…

A block has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s up an inclined plane that makes an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal. ignoring friction what us the blocks speed after it has travelled 2.0 meters?

a 50 kg block is in a plane that is inclined at 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. what is the acceleration of the block if there is a 150 N horizontal force applied into it causing it to move at 3 m/s up the plane? the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.45

A block of mass 3.5 kg slides down a frictionless inclined plane of length 6.4 $\mathrm{m}$ that makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. If the block is released from rest at the top of the incline, what is its speed at the bottom? (A) 5.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (B) 6.4 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (C) 8.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ (D) 10 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
