Question

A box is held at the top of a ramp. The ramp is 10 meters high and has an incline of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 20kg and the coefficient of friction between the box and the ramp is 0.5. The box is released to slide down the ramp. Answer the following questions in this section. a. How much energy was lost due to friction? b. What is the final kinetic energy of the box? c. What is the final velocity of the box?

Step 1

Given that the coefficient of friction is 0.5 and the distance traveled down the ramp is 10 meters, we can calculate the work done by friction using the formula: \( \text{Work} = \text{Force of friction} \times \text{Distance} \). The force of friction can be Show more…
