A small block of mass is situated at the top of a frictionless incline which is long and high. Calculate the speed of the block when it reaches the ground if it slides down the incline. Take .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Since the incline is frictionless, the mechanical energy of the block is conserved.
Loss in potential energy equals the gain in kinetic energy.
The speed is independent of the mass of the block and the length of the incline.
Substituting the given values and :
Loss in potential energy equals the gain in kinetic energy.
