1. Homework Statement
A block given an intial velocity of 2m/s up a frictionless inclined at 60 degrees to the horizontal. What is the highest point reached by the block?
2. Homework Equations
gsin(θ)=a
a=v/t
d=vit + 1/2at^2
3. The Attempt at a Solution
Found vx = vsin60= 2(sin60)=1.73
I solved for the acceleration
10(sin60)= 8.66 m/s^2
Then I found time using v/t=a
Then plugged in the time t into
d=vit+1/2at^2
Then used sin60= Opposite/hypotonuse to solve for the height.
But I did not get the correct answer of .24m. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong and point me in the right direction please
