Homework Statement
A 24 kg object is placed at the top of an incline with height 500m and length 375m. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.600
1) Find the acceleration of the object.
2) Find the speed by the time it has reached the bottom of the inclined plane.
Homework Equations
F_g = Force of gravity on the object
F_N = Normal force
F_// = Parallel force (force applied to the object parallel to the inclined plane and towards the bottom of the inclined plane)
F_p = Perpendicular force (force the object exerts on the inclined plane perpendicularly to it)
F_k = force of kinetic friction
The Attempt at a Solution
See the attachment, the answer key says acceleration=8.33646 but I got a different number
