Question

A car of mass 1470 kg is on an icy driveway

Answer 1

Answer:

  a = 7.5 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y axis

       N - W cos θ = 0

       N = mg cos θ

X axis

       W sin θ = m a

 

       mg sin θ = m a

        a = g sin θ

let's calculate

        a = 9.8 cos 40

        a = 7.5 m / s²
