A block slides down a smooth ramp, starting from rest at a height h. When it reaches the bottom it's moving at speed v. It then continues to slide up a second smooth ramp. At what height is its speed equal to v/2

Respuesta :

Answer:

3h/4

Explanation:

At speed v/2 height will be 3/4 h

What is equation of motion in kinematics?

Equation that describes the motion of point , bodies , and system of bodies without considering the force that cause them to move is called equation of motion in kinematics

When block is at top of first ramp

u=0 ( block was at rest )

a = g ( acceleration due to gravity

using equation of motion                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

2as = v^2 - u^2

2gh = v^2

Then the block continued and reached a speed of v1 = v/2 on second ramp

now , final velocity = v= v1 =[tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex] / 2

u= [tex]\sqrt{2gh\\}[/tex]

s= h1

using equation of motion , we get

2as = v^2 - u^2

2(-g)h1 =( [tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]/2)^2 - [tex]\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

2(-g)h1 = (g h - 4 g h) / 2

h1 = 3/4 h

At speed v/2 height will be 3/4 h
