Eric is helping a friend move. They use a ramp to move things
into an unusually tall moving truck. A plastic bin full of video
games of mass 9.8 kg is pushed up the ramp. As the bin starts on
the ramp, it has an initial speed of 1.54 m/s. You can assume Eric
and his friend push with a force 102 N and that the force is
parallel to the ramp. The ramp is at an angle of 20.3° with the
horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400, and the
ramp is 5.19 m long.
(a) How much heat is generated by the friction between the ramp
and bin? J
(b) What is the speed of the bin if it is pushed all the way to
the top of the ramp? m/s
