A)
Let's start by writing the equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the incline:
Parallel:
(1)
where
m is the mass
g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity
is the coefficient of friction
R is the normal reaction
a is the acceleration
Perpendicular:
(2)
From (2) we find
And substituting into (1)
Solving for a,
B) 5.94 m/s
We can solve this part by using the suvat equation
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
Here we have
v = ?
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
s = 8.70 m
Solving for v,
