A box with a mass of 20 kilograms is sliding down a ramp tilted at an angle θ of 30° to the horizontal. Determine the accelerati on of the box as it slides down the ramp. Ignore friction.
1 answer:
The acceleration of the box as it slides down the ramp is 4.9 m/s².
<h3>
What is the acceleration of the box down the incline? </h3>
The acceleration of the box down the incline is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;
F - Ff = ma
where;
F is the parallel force on the box Ff is the frictional force on box = 0 m is the mass of the box a is the acceleration of the box
F - 0 = ma
F = ma
mg sinθ = ma
g sinθ = a
where;
g is acceleration due to gravity θ is the angle of inclination of the incline
a = 9.8 x sin(30)
a = 4.9 m/s²
