The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of a particle released from the top of two inclined planes with different angles of inclination (30° and 60°). We will derive the expressions for the kinetic energy at the bottom of each incline and compare them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Forces Acting on the Particle:** - When the particle is on the inclined plane, the gravitational force \( mg \) can be resolved into two components: - Parallel to the incline: \( mg \sin \theta \) - Perpendicular to the incline: \( mg \cos \theta \) 2. **Determine the Normal Force:** - The normal force \( N \) acting on the particle is equal to the perpendicular component of the gravitational force: \[ N = mg \cos \theta \] 3. **Calculate the Frictional Force:** - The frictional force \( F_f \) acting against the motion of the particle is given by: \[ F_f = \mu N = \mu mg \cos \theta \] 4. **Work Done by Gravity:** - The work done by gravity as the particle moves down the incline is: \[ W_g = mgh \] - This is the same for both inclines since they have the same height \( h \). 5. **Work Done by Friction:** - The distance \( s \) traveled along the incline can be related to the height \( h \) and the angle \( \theta \) using the relationship: \[ s = \frac{h}{\sin \theta} \] - Therefore, the work done by friction \( W_f \) is: \[ W_f = -F_f \cdot s = -\mu mg \cos \theta \cdot \frac{h}{\sin \theta} \] 6. **Apply the Work-Energy Principle:** - According to the work-energy principle, the change in kinetic energy \( K \) is given by: \[ K = W_g + W_f \] - Substituting the expressions for work done: \[ K = mgh - \left(-\mu mg \cos \theta \cdot \frac{h}{\sin \theta}\right) \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ K = mgh - \mu mg \frac{h \cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \] - Thus, we can express the kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline for both angles. 7. **Calculate Kinetic Energies for Each Incline:** - For \( \theta = 30^\circ \): \[ K_1 = mgh - \mu mg \frac{h \cos 30^\circ}{\sin 30^\circ} = mgh - \mu mg \frac{h \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}} = mgh - 2\mu mg h \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] - For \( \theta = 60^\circ \): \[ K_2 = mgh - \mu mg \frac{h \cos 60^\circ}{\sin 60^\circ} = mgh - \mu mg \frac{h \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = mgh - \frac{\mu mg h}{\sqrt{3}} \] 8. **Compare Kinetic Energies:** - Since both expressions for kinetic energy depend on the frictional work done, we can analyze the coefficients: - The term \( 2\mu mg h \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) for \( K_1 \) is greater than \( \frac{\mu mg h}{\sqrt{3}} \) for \( K_2 \). - Therefore, it follows that: \[ K_1 < K_2 \] ### Conclusion: The kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline for the 30° angle is less than that for the 60° angle: \[ K_1 < K_2 \]
