A block with a mass of 2.5kg lies on a surface that is inclinedat an angle of, θ=22 , with the horizontal. The coefficient offriction between the block and the surface of the incline is,uk=0.20.
a) Apply Newton’s 2nd Law to determine the acceleration of theblock as it slides down the surface.
b) Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the block at thebase of the inclined surface if the block starts from rest andmoves through a distance of 3.41m from its initial position to thebase of the incline.
c) Apply the Work/Energy Theorem to determine the velocity ofthe block at the base of the inclined surface if the block startsfrom rest and moves through a distance of 3.41m from its initialposition to the base of the incline
