Work Energy And Power Question 247

Question: A 1 kg particle at a height of 8m has a speed of 1 Om/s down a fixed incline making an angle 53 with horizontal as shown in figure. It slides on a horizontal section of length 10 m at ground level and then up a fixed incline making an angle 37 with horizontal. All surfaces have μk=0.5 . How far (in meters) from point 0 (bottom of right inclined plane), along the incline making an angle 37 with horizontal, does the particle first come to rest?

Options:

A) 1m

B) 0.5m

C) 2m

D) 5m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Let x be the distance travelled by the particle along the 37 incline, after which it comes to rest. From work-energy theorem. Work done by gravity on block on incline 53+ work done by friction on block on incline 53= work done by friction on ground level + work done by gravity on block on incline 37+ work done by friction on block on incline 37= change in K.E. mg(8)μmgcos53(10)umg(10)μmgcos
