A box of mass m is initially at rest at the peak of an inclined plane, which has a height of 5.5 m and has an angle of θ = 25° with respect to the horizontal. After being released, it is observed to be moving at v = 0.85 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. a)What is the speed of the box, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane?

Question

A box of mass m is initially at rest at the peak of an inclined plane, which has a height of 5.5 m and has an angle of θ = 25° with respect to the horizontal. After being released, it is observed to be moving at v = 0.85 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2.

a)What is the speed of the box, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane?
