A block having mass m slides with speed v along a horizontal, smooth table. After some time it slides down a smooth ramp, descending a height h, and then slides little along the horizontal rough floor, after that it stops eventually. Block slides slowly so that it does not lose contact with the ramp. Calculate the speed v(b) of the block at the bottom of the ramp by using the Law of conservation of energy.
Find the amount of energy E dissipated by friction by the time the block stops.
Express your answer in terms of some or all the variables m, v, and h and any appropriate constants.
An 8.70 kg- block slides with an initial speed of 1.66 m/s up a ramp inclined at an angle of 29.4 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.62. Use energy conservation to find the distance the block slides before coming to rest.
