In summary, a block with an initial velocity of 8.2 ft/s is projected up a frictionless inclined plane at an angle of 35 degrees. The acceleration of the block along the incline is -g*cos(35) and using kinematics equations, we can solve for how far the block travels, how long it takes to get there, and its speed when it gets back to the bottom. Due to conservation of energy and lack of friction, the block will return to the bottom with the same speed.

a block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane. the angle of incline is 35 degrees, and the initial velocity is 8.2 ft/s. how far up the plane does the block travel? how long does it take to get there? and what is its speed when it gets back to the bottom?

Shouldn't this be on the homework forum?

Find the acceleration of the body along the incline and use kinematics.
 
  • #3
I think the acceleration would be -g*cos(35), from that use constant acceleration equations to solve the problem.
 
  • #4
It will be with sine. Of course with no friction.

And due to conservation of energy and lack of friction (external force) without even solving the problem we can say it would come back down with the same speed...

What is the Incline Problem?

The Incline Problem is a physics problem that involves a block being projected up an incline at a certain angle and velocity.

What does the angle of 35 degrees represent in this problem?

The angle of 35 degrees represents the angle of the incline or ramp that the block is being projected up.

What does the velocity of 8.2 ft/s represent in this problem?

The velocity of 8.2 ft/s represents the initial speed at which the block is projected up the incline. This can also be referred to as the initial velocity.

What is the purpose of solving the Incline Problem?

The purpose of solving the Incline Problem is to determine the motion and behavior of the block as it travels up the incline. This can help us understand concepts such as acceleration, force, and friction.

What factors can affect the outcome of the Incline Problem?

The outcome of the Incline Problem can be affected by various factors such as the angle of the incline, initial velocity, mass of the block, and the presence of other forces such as friction or air resistance.
