Question
A block of mass 5.0 kg is released from rest at the top of a ramp. The ramp has a height of 90 cm and is at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. When the block reaches the bottom, it has a speed of 2.7 m/s. How much energy was lost from friction

Answer:
Energy lost to friction is 3847.5 joules
Explanation:
Initial energy = Mgh
Initial energy= 5000*9.81*(90/100)
Initial energy = 44145 joules.
Final energy is kinectic plus mechanical energy.
Kinectic = 1/2 * m* v²
Kinectic = 1/2 * 5000* 2.7²
Kinetic energy = 18225 joules.
Mechanical energy= mghsin(tita)
Mechanical energy = 44145*sin30
Mechanical energy= 22072.5
Final energy is kinectic plus mechanical energy.
= 18225+ 22072.5
= 40297.5 joules.
Energy lost to friction is initial- final
=44145 joules- 402957.5
= 3847.5 joules
