Answer:

<em>2.78m/s²</em>

Explanation:

Complete question:

<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>

According to Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

Where:

\mu is the coefficient of friction

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting on the body

Ff is the frictional force

m is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration'

Given

\theta = 30^0\\\mu = 0.25\\g = 9.8m/s^2

Required

acceleration of the box

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:

Recall that:

gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax

9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax

4.9 - 2.1217 = ax

ax = 2.78m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.
