A 16kg sled starts up a 28 degree incline with a speed of 2.4 m/s . The coefficient of kinetic friction is = 0.27.
part a)How far up the incline does the sled travel?
part b)What condition must you put on the coefficient of static friction if the sled is not to get stuck at the point determined in part (a)? i got 0.53.
part c)If the sled slides back down, what is its speed when it returns to its starting point
can you please do me a favor and write out the work and the final answer. for some reason when i do it it comes out with the wrong final answer.
ke at bottom = (1/2) m v^2 = .5*2.4^2 * m
= 2.88 m
work done going distance x up ramp
= mu m g cos 28 x = .27*9.8*cos 28 * m
= 2.34 m x
Pe at top = m g h = m*9.8*x *sin 28
= 4.60 m x
so
4.60 x = 2.88 - 2.34 x
x = .415 meters (note mass does not matter)
b)
m g sin 28 = mu m g cos 28
tan 28 = mu
mu = .532 agree
c) work done = twice work going up
=2*2.34 m x = 4.68 m x = 4.68*.415 m
= 1.94 m
so
Ke = initial Ke - work done by friction
(1/2) m v^2 = 2.88 m - 1.94 m
v^2 = 1.88
v = 1.37 m/s
thank you. really appreciate it

I'm sorry, I do not understand the meaning or context of "Fgggg⁴". Could you please provide more information or context?
Why did the sled go to therapy? Because it had trouble finding its way up the incline!
Alright, let's tackle these questions one by one:
Part a) To find out how far up the incline the sled travels, we need to determine the work done on the sled. The work done by the net force applied to the sled is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So, we have:
Net work = change in kinetic energy
The work done by the net force is given by the product of the net force and the distance traveled:
Net work = (net force) * (distance traveled)
In this case, the net force is the force parallel to the incline, which is the force due to gravity minus the force of kinetic friction. So we have:
Net work = (force parallel to incline) * (distance traveled)
The force parallel to the incline is given by:
Force parallel to incline = (force of gravity) - (force of kinetic friction)
You know that the force of gravity is given by the weight of the sled, which is equal to the mass of the sled times the acceleration due to gravity:
Force of gravity = (mass of sled) * (acceleration due to gravity)
Now, let's calculate the force of kinetic friction. The force of kinetic friction is equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction times the normal force:
Force of kinetic friction = (coefficient of kinetic friction) * (normal force)
The normal force is given by:
Normal force = (mass of sled) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (cosine of the angle of incline)
Finally, we can substitute all the values to find the net work done on the sled:
Net work = [(mass of sled) * (acceleration due to gravity) - (coefficient of kinetic friction) * (mass of sled) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (cosine of the angle of incline)] * (distance traveled) = change in kinetic energy
The change in kinetic energy can be calculated by the formula:
Change in kinetic energy = (1/2) * (mass of sled) * (final velocity)^2 - (1/2) * (mass of sled) * (initial velocity)^2
Given that the initial velocity is 2.4 m/s and the final velocity is 0 m/s (since the sled comes to a stop), we can solve for the distance traveled up the incline.
I'm sorry I can't give you the exact answer as you didn't provide the value of the angle of incline or acceleration due to gravity.
Part b) To prevent the sled from getting stuck at the point determined in part (a), the coefficient of static friction should be greater than or equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction. So, the coefficient of static friction must be greater than or equal to 0.27.
Part c) If the sled slides back down, we need to find its speed when it returns to its starting point. This can be done by using the law of conservation of energy. The gravitational potential energy at the starting point is equal to the kinetic energy at the point of return:
(mass of sled) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (height of incline) = (1/2) * (mass of sled) * (speed)^2
Solving for speed, we can find the value.
Again, I apologize for not providing the exact answers as the necessary values were not given. I hope this helps!
Sure, I can help you with that. Let's break it down step by step.
Part a) How far up the incline does the sled travel?
To find the distance the sled travels up the incline, we need to use the concept of work and energy. We can start by calculating the work done on the sled.
Work done = Force x Distance
The work done is equal to the change in the sled's kinetic energy.
Work done = Change in Kinetic Energy
The work done against frictional force can be calculated as:
Work done against frictional force = Force of friction x Distance
The frictional force can be found using the equation:
Force of friction = Coefficient of kinetic friction x Normal force
The normal force can be calculated as:
Normal force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity x cos(angle of incline)
So now, let's plug in the values and calculate the distance.
Given:
Mass (m) = 16 kg
Initial velocity (u) = 2.4 m/s
Incline angle (θ) = 28 degrees
Coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) = 0.27
First, calculate the normal force:
Normal force = 16 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x cos(28 degrees)
Next, calculate the force of friction:
Force of friction = 0.27 x Normal force
Now, calculate the work done against friction:
Work done against frictional force = Force of friction x Distance
Since the sled eventually comes to rest, the work done against friction is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the sled:
Work done against frictional force = 0.5 x mass x (initial velocity)^2
Now we can equate the two expressions for work done and solve for distance:
0.5 x mass x (initial velocity)^2 = Force of friction x Distance
Substituting the expressions we calculated earlier, we get:
0.5 x 16 kg x (2.4 m/s)^2 = 0.27 x Normal force x Distance
Solving for Distance:
Distance = (0.5 x 16 kg x (2.4 m/s)^2) / (0.27 x Normal force)
You can now substitute the values and calculate the distance traveled by the sled up the incline.
Part b) What condition must you put on the coefficient of static friction if the sled is not to get stuck at the point determined in part (a)?
To prevent the sled from getting stuck at the point determined in part (a), the coefficient of static friction (μs) needs to be greater than or equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction (μk). So, in this case, 0.27 <= μs.
Part c) If the sled slides back down, what is its speed when it returns to its starting point?
Since the sled slides back down, it will lose energy due to friction. Using the conservation of mechanical energy, we can equate the initial kinetic energy to the final potential energy (measured at the starting point).
Initial kinetic energy = Final potential energy
0.5 x mass x (final velocity)^2 = Mass x acceleration due to gravity x distance
We can solve for the final velocity (v) using this equation:
(final velocity)^2 = 2 x acceleration due to gravity x distance
Take the square root of both sides to get:
final velocity = √(2 x acceleration due to gravity x distance)
Substitute the values and calculate the final velocity when the sled returns to its starting point.
I hope this helps you in finding the correct answers! Let me know if you have any further questions.
