Question

Cal Cart A cart E -trock In this experiment, we use a simple apparatus to test the theorem of energy conservation. Figure illustrates the system to be studied. A cart of mass m at the end of an inclined track is held at rest by hand at point A. When you release it, the cart rolls down on the inclined track until it hits the bumper attached Lebo to the bottom of the track. A motion sensor at the top of the Toek track will collect data for the velocity of the cart. tolle Pre-Lab questions Derive an equation for the velocity of the cart at position B using the law conservation of energy.

Answer 1

Applying conservation of energy between point À am point 'B' Sum of all energy at A = Sum of all energy at B (Kinetic enegy + Posential enugy) x = (Kinetic eversy + Potential enemy (K. E) A+ (P. E) A = (ko E) A+ (PIE), taking daten at 1 m² + mgH = 1 m vez + mgn a - Datum an as shown in fig. VAL VB are velocity at A & B respectively. I mot mgh I m VB 2. + mgh [iVA=o] gH-gn= I V² 29 (H-b) = V² VB = √29 (H-h) Velocity at cart at position B' Please LIKE my solution if you find this helpful.Thank you
