Use g = 9.80 m/s^2 and assume all numbers are accurate to 3 significant
figures unless otherwise indicated.
a. A 15 kg box, initially at rest, slides down a ramp 2 m long that is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. If there is no friction between the ramp surface and the crate, what is the kinetic energy (in J) of the crate at the bottom of the incline?
b. After sliding down the ramp, the 15 kg box from part a slides on a horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.25. How far along the surface will the box slide before coming to rest?
Keep the track tilted at 14° with the horizontal. Put the friction block on the track surface at the top
of the track. Let the friction block slide downwards. The length of the track is 65 cm. Starting from
zero speed at the top of the track, what will be the speed of the friction block as it reaches the
bottom? Write your answer in m/s. Use u = 0.12 and mass of the friction block = 400 grams.
A 108 kg crate slides down a ramp, starting from rest. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 36.4
degrees with respect to the horizontal and has a height of 1.03 m. The crate is placed on
frictionless casters so that it slides down the ramp without friction. What is the final speed of the
crate (in m/s) just as it reaches the bottom of the ramp? Use g = 9.81 m/s².
