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