Answer:
Explanation:
The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:
F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).
We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:
That's everything we need.
w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:
6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and
2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and
11 = 6.0a so
a = 1.8 m/s/s
