A block of mass 2 kg starts from rest at the top of a friction quarter of a circle of radius R. The block then slides over frictionless curved surface in the shape of a eventually comes to rest 8 m from the beginning s a horizontal rough surface where e of the horizontal surface. The coefficient kinetic friction between the rough surface and the block is 0.4 . determine the acceleration of the block over the rough surface length 8m​

The acceleration of the block over the rough surface is 1.22625 m/s²

The process through which the acceleration is obtained is presented as follows of approach to

The given parameters are;

Mass of block, m = 2 kg

Nature of the surface of the quarter circle = Frictionless

The length of the horizontal, d = 8 m

The coefficient of friction of the horizontal surface, μ = 0.4

The unknown parameter;

The acceleration of the block over the rough surface

Method;

Find the work done by friction to stop the block and divide the result by the mass of the block

The work done by friction, = (Force of friction) × (Distance the block moves on the rough surface before coming to rest)

= × d

= Normal reaction of surface on block, × μ

Normal reaction on block, = Weight of block

≈ 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19.62 N

Therefore;

The work done by friction = × d = × μ × d

= 19.62 N × 0.4 × 8 m = 62.784 J

The work done by the block, W = Force, F × d

Force, F = m × a

Where;

a = The acceleration of the block

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

 = W

∴ 19.62 J = 2 kg × a × 8 m

a = 19.62/(2 kg × 8 m) = 1.22625 m/s²

The acceleration of the block over the rough surface, a = 1.22625 m/s²

answer: point c: b. 1/2 potential, 1/2 kinetic, point a: 3/4 of its potential energy, point d or b: 3/4 potential, 1/4 kinetic

explanation: i cant explain. it's difficult to explain.

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
