What did you use for h? h must be the vertical distance the object moves, not the distance along the incline.akatsafa said:I used Kinitial+Uinitial=Kfinal+Ufinal. I got 2gh+5^2=v^2, but when I solve for v, I get 10.17m/s. What am I doing wrong?
Yes. That's the height.akatsafa said:Should I use 4sin30 as my height?
The steeper the angle of the inclined plane, the faster the object will slide down. This is due to the increased force of gravity pulling the object downward.
The acceleration of the sliding object is influenced by the angle of the inclined plane, the mass of the object, and the force of gravity. The greater the angle and force of gravity, and the lower the mass, the greater the acceleration.
The motion of the sliding object on an inclined plane is considered accelerated, as its velocity changes due to the force of gravity.
The coefficient of friction between the object and the inclined plane can impact the motion of the object. A higher coefficient of friction will result in a slower and more controlled descent, while a lower coefficient of friction will result in a faster and less controlled descent.
The distance traveled by the sliding object is directly proportional to the height of the inclined plane. This means that as the height of the inclined plane increases, the distance the object will travel also increases.
