Achild is running his 46.1 g toy car down a ramp. the ramp is 1.73 m long and forms a 40.5° angle with the flat ground. how long will it take the car to reach the bottom of the ramp if there is no friction?

t=0.704s

Explanation:

A child is running his 46.1 g toy car down a ramp. The ramp is 1.73 m long and forms a 40.5° angle with the flat ground. How long will it take the car to reach the bottom of the ramp if there is no friction?

from newton equation of motion , we look for the y component of the speed and look for the x component of the speed. we can then find the resultant of the speed

Vy^2=0+2*9.8*1.73sin40.5

Vy^2=22.021

Vy=4.69m/s

Vx^2=u^2+2*9.81*cos40.5

Vy^2=25.81

Vy=5.08m/s

V=(Vy^2+Vx^2)^0.5

V=47.71^0.5

V=6.9m/s

from newtons equation of motion we know that force applied is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum on a body.

f=force applied

v=velocity final

u=initial velocity

m=mass of the toy, 0.046

f=ma

f=m(v-u)/t

v=u+at

6.9=0+9.8t

t=6.9/9.81

t=0.704s

there are no atoms
