Answer:
See below
Explanation:
At point A the PE = mgh = 2 * 10 * 1 = 20 J
at point B, all of the PE , 20 J , is converted to Kinetic Energy
KE = 1/2 m v^2
20 = 1/2 (2)(v^2 )
20 = v^2 v = sqrt 20 = 4.47 m/s
for the friction part
vf = vo t + 1/2 a t^2 vf = final velocity = 0 (stopped)
vo = original velocity = 4.47 m/s
a = -1 m/s^2
0 = 4.47 t + 1/2 (-1) t^2
- .5t^2 + 4.47 t = 0
t ( -.5t+ 4.47) = 0 shows t = 4.47/.5 = 8.9 seconds
