A luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 25 degrees above the horizontal by a force F of magnitude 145 N that acts parallel to the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the incline is = 0.30. If the suitcase travels 4.60 m along the ramp, calculate:A) the work done on the suitcase by force F. B) the work done on the suitcase by the gravitational force. C) the work done on the suitcase by the normal force. D) the work done on the suitcase by the friction force. E) the total work done on the suitcase. F) if the velocity of the suitcase is zero at the bottom of the ramp, what is its velocity after it has travelled 4.60 m along the ramp.

A) 667 J

B) 381.4 J

C) 0 J

D) 245.4 J

E) 40.2J

F) 2 m/s

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

A) The work done on the suitcase is the product of the force applied and the distance travelled:

w = Fs = 145 * 4.6 = 667 J

B) The work done by gravitational force the dot product between the gravity vector and the distance vector

C) As the normal force vector is perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by the normal force is 0

D) The work done on the suitcase by friction force is the product of the force applied and the distance travelled, whereas friction force is the product of normal force and coefficient

E) The total workdone on the suite case would be the pulling work subtracted by gravity work and friction work

F) As the suit case has 0 kinetic and potential energy at the bottom, and the total work done is converted to kinetic energy at 4.6 m along the ramp, we can conclude that:

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
