A block is placed at the top of a frictionless inclined plane with angle 30 degrees and released. The incline has a height of 15 m and the block has mass 2 kg. In the above problem the speed of the block when it reaches the bottom of the incline is 8.3 m/s 17 m/s 25 m/s 30 m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:17.15 m/s

Explanation:

angle of inclination[tex](\theta )=30^{\circ}[/tex]

height=15 m

mass of block=2 kg

Conserving energy at top and bottom

energy at top of inclined plane([tex]E_1[/tex])=mgh

[tex]E_1=2\times 9.81\times 15=294.3 J[/tex]

energy at bottom[tex](E_2)=\frac{mv^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]E_2=\frac{2\times v^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]E_1=E_2[/tex]

[tex]294.3=\frac{2\times v^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 294.3}{2}}[/tex]

v=17.15 m/s
