When moving to a new apartment, you rent a truck and create a ramp with a 244 cm long piece of plywood. The top of the moving ramp lies on the edge of the truck bed at a height of 115 cm. You load your textbooks into a wooden box at the bottom of the ramp (the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp is = 0.2). Then you and a few friends give the box a quick push and it starts to slide up the ramp. A) What angle is made by the ramp and the ground? B) Unfortunately, after letting go, the box only tables 80cm up the ramp before it starts coming back down! What speed was the box initially traveling with just after you stopped pushing it?

    A) θ = 28.1º, B) v = 2.47 m / s

    Explanation:

    A) The angle of the ramp can be found using trigonometry

    sin θ = y / L

    Φ = sin⁻¹ y / L

    θ = sin⁻¹ (115/244)

    θ = 28.1º

    B) For this pate we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

    W = ΔK

    where the work is

    W = - fr x

    the negative sign is due to the fact that the friction force closes against the movement

    Lavariacion of energy cineta is

    ΔEm = ½ m v² - mgh

    -fr x = ½ m v² - m gh

    the friction force has the equation

    fr = very N

    at the highest part there is no speed and we take the origin from the lowest part of the ramp

    To find the friction force we use Newton's second law. Where one axis is parallel to the ramp and the other is perpendicular

    Axis y. perpendicular

    N - Wy = 0

    cos tea = Wy / W

    Wy = W cos treaa

    N = mg cos tea

    we substitute

    - (very mg cos tea) x = ½ m v²2 - mgh

    v2 = m (gh - very g cos tea x)

    let's calculate

    v = Ra (9.8 0.80 - 0.2 9.8 0.0 cos 28.1)

    v = RA (7.84 - 1.729)

    v = 2.47 m / s
