Starting from rest, a 5 kg block slides 2.5 m down a roughly 30 degree incline. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is uk= .436. Determine a) the work done by the force of gravity, b) the work done by the friction force between the rock and the incline and c) the work done by the normal force. d) qualitatively how would answers change if a shorter ramp at a steeper angle were used to span the same vertical height. Please use neat diagrams + explanations- I'm quite confused. Thank you!!
