Solution

The acceleration of an object sliding down a frictionless slope can be calculated using the formula:

a = g * sin(θ)

where:

  • a is the acceleration,
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth), and
  • θ is the angle of the slope.

Given that the slope is 20 degrees, we can substitute these values into the formula:

a = 9.8 m/s² * sin(20°)

Using a calculator to find the sine of 20 degrees:

a = 9.8 m/s² * 0.342

a ≈ 3.35 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the object is approximately 3.35 m/s². The mass of the object is not needed to calculate this, as it does not affect the acceleration of an object sliding down a frictionless slope.

In the figure provided, a crate of mass m sits at rest on a 20° ramp and is connected to another crate of mass 1.80 kg by a rope and pulley. If the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.570 and μs = 0.850 with the surface, what acceleration will the mass m have if it is slightly nudged and begins to be pulled up the ramp? Assume the rope and pulley are massless.

Context: m The object of mass m = 3 kg is at the bottom of the incline, which is at the angle e = 55° with respect to horizontal. The object has initial speed of vo = 5 m/s and begins slide up the incline. There is a friction between the object and the incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.25. The object moves up the incline and eventually stops under the influence of friction and its own weight. Find: (a) how high up the incline (in m, relative to its original position) the object slides before stopping (careful here - your answer is the height, i.e. the vertical distance between object's final position and the ground); (b) work in J) done by the kinetic friction when the object moves up the incline (careful with the sign); (c) work in J) done by the normal force when the object moves up the incline; (d) work in J) done by the gravity when the object moves up the incline (careful with the sign); (e) when the object reaches the highest point on the incline it begins to slide back down, find object's speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the incline.
