Question

, a box of mass m = 10 kg is sliding along a horizontal frictionless surface at a speed vi = 6 m/s when it encounters a ramp inclined at an angle of θ = 15°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box is μ = 0.228 and the box slides a distance d up the ramp before coming momentarily to rest. Calculate the distance d.

          , a box of mass m = 10 kg is sliding along a horizontal
frictionless surface at a speed vi = 6 m/s when it encounters a
ramp inclined at an angle of θ = 15°.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box
is μ = 0.228 and the box slides a distance d up the ramp before
coming momentarily to rest. Calculate the distance d.

Step 1

We can use the formula for the component of gravity parallel to the ramp: a = g sinθ where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and θ is the angle of the ramp (15°). Plugging in the numbers, we get: a = 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(15°) ≈ 2.54 m/s^2 Show more…
