QUESTION:

Starting from rest, a 5.00-kg block slides 2.50 m down a rough \(30.0^{\circ}\) incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is \(\mu_{k}=0.436\). Determine

(a) the work done by the force of gravity,

(b) the work done by the friction force between block and incline, and

(c) the work done by the normal force.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Given data:

The mass of the block is given as, \(m=5 \mathrm{~kg}\).

Sliding distance is given as, \(S=2.5 \mathrm{~m} .\)

The angle of inclination is given as, \(\theta=30^{\circ}\).

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is given as, \(\mu_{k}=0.436\).
