Standard 5.4- Analyze the motion of an object if non-conservative forces are acting on it
1.) A block of mass m is at rest at the top of a ramp at an angle and of height h. The block is released and slides with negligible friction down the ramp. The block then seamlessly transitions to a flat rough surface, where it slides with a coefficient of kinetic friction until it comes to rest after moving a horizontal distance d.
A student says that using trig they know the length of the ramp is L=hsin() and propose that the slide distance d can be described as d=hsin(). Does this equation make physical sense to you? Could it be correct? (Instead of coming up with your own expression, try to find a way to describe why this one is not quite correct)
2.)UH-OH! It turns out the block DOES experience friction as it slides on the ramp! Using the information and values provided find the distance d of the block's slide. Can you answer this but with sentencee and math thank you
