Inclined Planes

Examples

  1. A 10.0 kg object is placed on a 30.0° inclined frictionless plane.  What is the acceleration of the object?

  1. A 10.0 kg object is placed on a 30.0° inclined plane with a coefficient of friction of 0.250.  What is the acceleration of the object?

  1. A 20.0 kg object slides down a 40.0° inclined plane at a constant velocity.  What is the coefficient of friction?

  1. A mass, m, slides down a 25.0° inclined plane at a constant velocity.  What is the coefficient of friction?

  1. A 420.0 kg piano slides down a 20.0° ramp with a coefficient of friction of 0.280.  What force must be applied to allow it to slide at a constant velocity?

  1. A 50.0 kg crate is pushed up a 25.0° inclined plane with a coefficient of friction of 0.250.  If it is pushed with a constant velocity, what applied force is used?

  1. A 50.0 kg object pushed up a 30.0° inclined plane with a coefficient of friction of 0.270.  If the applied force is 500.0 N, what is the acceleration of the object?
