PLEASE HELP’!


A block of ice is sliding down a ramp made of ice that is 15° above the horizontal. What is the

acceleration of the block?

Respuesta :

Answer:

 a= g sinθ

Explanation:

Given that

Angle ,θ = 15° (from the horizontal)

Lets take the mass of the block = m

The acceleration due to gravity = g

The acceleration of the block = a

When block slide down :

The gravitational force on the block =  m g sinθ

By using Newton's second law

F= m a

F=Net force ,a acceleration ,m=mass

m g sinθ =  ma

a= g sinθ

Therefore the acceleration of the block will be g sinθ.
