what is the blocks velocity at point D ?
Initially at rest, a block of mass 20 kg starts to slide down a frictionless hill. Based on the drawing, determine the answers to the questions below. hA = 120m hC = 90m hB = 30m hD = 0m
SOLUTION :
At A, only P. E. Is there = m g hA = 20*9.8* 120 = 23520 J
At D, only K.E. is there = 1/2 m v^2 = 1/2 * 20 * v^2 = 10 v^2 J
As per conservation of energy :
K.E. gained = P.E. lost
=> 10 v^2 = 23520
=> v = sqrt(23520 / 10) = 48.50 meter/sec.
Hence, velocity at point D will be 48.50 m/sec^2 (ANSWER).
Consider the small cube of mass m in the figure. It
slides down a circular path of radius R carved into a
large block of mass M. M rests on a table, and
both blocks move without friction (i.e. M can easily slide
sideways). The blocks are initially at rest, and m starts
from the top of the path.
Find the velocity of m as it leaves the block.

Two steel blocks collide elastically (delta K=0) on a frictionless horizontal suface. The first block with mass m1=720 kg, is initially moving with a velocity of magnitude 3.10 m/s. The second block, with mass m2=1100 kg, is initially at rest. What is the magnitude of the final velocity of m1?
Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless wooden track shown below. The block of mass m_1 = 4.92 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m_z = 9.40 kg initially at rest. The...

The roller coaster in Figure P6.36 starts with a velocity of 15
m/s. One of the riders is a small girl of mass 40 kg. At points B
and C, the track is circular with the radii of curvature given in
the figure. The heights at points A, B, and C are hA= 24.9 m, hB =
34.75 m, and hC=0 m. You may assume the track is frictionless.

4. Consider the blocks on the inclined surface above. They are attached by a steel rod that does not bend. Suppose the mass of block m 1=15 kg and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μ_k=.2, and a coefficient of static friction μ_s=.9 and θ=42 degrees. Suppose the mass of the second block is m2=25 kg.a. Suppose the masses are initially at rest. What is the minimum coefficient of friction of m2 required to stop both of them from sliding...
I need help on part G!!!!! Blocks A and B are on a frictionless horizontal surface. Block A is to the left of block B. Both blocks are initially at rest. Block A has a mass of 2.1 kg and B has a mass of 1.5 kg. Block A is struck from the left with a hammer. The average force of this impact is 210 N and lasts for 0.09 seconds. Block A slides to the right, strikes and sticks...

Blocks A (mass 4.50 kg) and B (mass 15.00 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 1.00 m/s.The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. Let +x be thedirection of the initial motion of AFind the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers and the velocity of each block...
