Homework Statement
A block of mass 5.00 kg is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s. It travels 5.0 m over a rough surface with μ[itex]_{k}[/itex] = 0.250. It then slides up a ramp that rises at a 30° angle above the horizontal. How high does it go before coming to rest
Homework Equations
W = FΔs
F[itex]_{k}[/itex] = μ[itex]_{k}[/itex] N
Δk = 1/2 m v[itex]_{f}[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex] - 1/2 m v[itex]_{i}[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex]
v = √2gh
The Attempt at a Solution
W = μ[itex]_{k}[/itex] Δs = (0.25)(5)(9.8)(5) = 61.25 J
-61.25 = Δk
-61.25 = 1/2 m v[itex]_{f}[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex] - 1/2 m v[itex]_{i}[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex]
-61.25 = 2.5 v[itex]_{f}[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex] - (0.5)(5)(8[itex]^{2}[/itex]
v[itex]_{f}[/itex] = √((-61.25+160)/2.5)
v = √2gh
h = v[itex]^{2}[/itex]/2gh
h = 6.28[itex]^{2}[/itex]/(2)(9.8)
h = 2.01m
