A Block Is Projected with Speed V Across a Horizontal

question 55

Multiple Choice

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction.The same block is then projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction.In which case did the total mechanical energy of the block decrease the least?

• A)This problem cannot be solved since it was not indicated whether the horizontal surface and the incline both had the same coefficient of kinetic friction.
• B)The case on the horizontal surface had the least decrease in total mechanical energy.
• C)The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease in total mechanical energy.
• D)In both cases the decrease in mechanical energy was the same.
