A package, mass M=2kg is dropped vertically from a height h=0.5m onto a horizontal conveyor belt which is moving at a uniform speed v= 2m/s. Assume the box experiences no vertical bounce during impact, which last t=0.5s. coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and belt=0.4
A) what is the average vertical force to which the box is subjected during impact?
B) after impact box is being accelerated by the conveyor belt taking a distance d=1m. What force is responsible for this change in motion?
C) calculate the thermal engery between belt and box?
