Inclined Planes — Homework
Redraw the tilted incline and its perpendicular axes before writing any equation.
- 1.Find the acceleration of a block on a frictionless 37-degree incline.
- 2.Find the acceleration of a block sliding down a 53-degree incline with mu_k = 0.1.
- 3.A 20 kg crate sits on a frictionless 37-degree incline. Find the normal force on it.
- 4.Explain why the normal force on an incline decreases as the incline angle increases, even though the object's weight has not changed.
- 5.What does the incline acceleration formula, a = g*sin(theta), become as theta approaches 90 degrees, and why does that make sense?
- 6.Describe a real inclined-plane situation (a wheelchair ramp, a loading ramp, a ski slope) and explain how the angle affects the force or acceleration involved.
