A worker wants to load a 12 kg crate into a truck by sliding the crate up a straight ramp which is 2.5 m long and which makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The worker believes that he can get the crate to the very top of the ramp by launching it at 5 m/s at the bottom. Note that the worker does not keep pushing on the crate. But the worker underestimated or even forgot about friction, and the crate slides only 1.6 m up the ramp, stops, and slides back down. You may assume that the friction is constant along the ramp. Draw a Free Body Diagram. (thank you)

(a) How fast is the crate moving when it reaches the bottom of the ramp? Use the work-energy approach to calculate this.

(b) Using Newton’s 2nd law, find the acceleration of the crate on the way up and on the way down. If you were not able to solve part a), you may ask me for the value of μk

Answer #1

a) the speed of the crate on reaching the bottom of the ramp is 2.52 m/s

B) while moving the acceleration of crate is - 7.8 m/s2 and while moving down its acceleration is + 1.9875 = 2 m/s2

A worker who is 1.5 m above the ground places a 50 kg crate on a curved, frictionless ramp. After sliding down the ramp, the crate slides for 5 m across a rough section of floor whose coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the crate and ramp are 0.17 and 0.20, respectively.  After this, the crate strikes a bumper that acts as an ideal spring with spring constant 1500 N/m. a) What is the speed of the crate just before...

A construction worker pushes on a 10 kg crate down an inclined plane that is 7.0 m long and is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal. As a result, the crate slides down the entire length of the plane with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. Suppose that the worker pushes directly on the crate in a direction parallel to the incline with a force of 50 N for the entire length of the plane. A)...
