It is observed that all bodies sliding down a frictionless inclined plane have the same acceleration how does its happen?

Fx=G*sin(t) = m*g*sin(t)
a=Fx/m=g*sin(t) ->> does not depend on mass

Can you give me an example of an inclined plane?
A sliding board at the playground.
How does a inclined plane works?
it is a slanted something that's makes lifting things easier by sliding them to where you need them to be.
Why doesn't a box move down a inclined plane?
because the friction involved in the box sliding down has overcome the pull of gravity.
Is an object falling freely equivalent to the object sliding down on a frictionless inclined plane?
intresting to say, one would say yes, but its a little bit more complicated. The object that is falling freely has a just one vector which is going down equivalent to the gravity constant, therefore could be seen as E(z)->=mgh. Looking at the frictionless inclined plane, the movement consist of two vectors, one moving down, which has the exact composition as the object falling freely (and therefore with the exact same resistance factor), but the second vector participates as well, to move it in the horizontal plane. High school physics learns us that in an experiment that where one ball is falling freely and an other shot at the exact time in the horizontal direction will fall at the ground at the same time. However, due to the fact that this is an inclined plane, one could say in general that there is a possibility that they will fall together, but I'm not sure of that. The horizontal movement might induce some wind resistance and furthermore, its downfall component sees a lot of resistance, to its partly neglected. The answer for your question would be then; It depends based on factors, such as the gradient of inclining and the amount of wind resistance produced to its horizontal movement
What are real life examples of inclined planes?
Civil engineers need to know how much they have to slope the ground around roadways. If the slope isn't right we end up with debris sliding down embankments into roadways. Falling rocks, anyone?
What requires less effort sliding a 1 kg box on an ordinary floor or sliding a 2000 kg box on a frictionless floor?
2000 kg box on a frictionless floor
A body is sliding down an inclined planeThe speed changes at a constant rate from 12m per s to 18m per s in 4 secondsWhat is its acceleration?
the acceleration is 54 < your welcome!!!
Describe uniformly accelerated motion in an inclined plane?
a body sliding down an inclined plane also moves with constant acceleration on account of gravity, but the acceleration down the plane is very much less than the acceleration of free falling body, especially if the angle made by the plane with the horizontal is small
How come all bodies sliding down a frictionless inclined plane have same acceleration?
all bodies have same acceleration while coming down from an inclined plane because in such type of case acceleration does not depends upon mass....acceleration can be given as a=gsinθ......θ(theta) is the angle of the inclined plane. g is the acceleration due to gravity or 9.81 m/s2.*Note: the acceleration due to gravity is actually based on the mass of both bodies and the square of the distance between their centers. While this means that gravity (acceleration) is not equal for all bodies, the mass of the Earth is so much greater than any measurable bodies, that can move down the inclined plane. The mass of the body is negligible in comparison and thus the change in acceleration due to gravity is likewise negligible, and generally not measurable. If a mass the size of the moon were moving down the inclined plane, then that would definitely indicate a greater acceleration.F = m1m2/r2. Where F = force of gravity, m1 = mass of body 1, m2 = mass of body 2, and r = the distance between the bodies.

What kind of a simple machine is a spatula?
It's a wedge for sliding between the food and a pan or plate. An inclined plane as food slides off and the handle serves as a lever.
How is friction related to net force on an object acceleration of an object a create sliding on a surface?
F net=F applied - F friction
Define Newtons second law of motion with an example?
Newton's second law of motion states that a force experienced by a body is equal to the rate of change in it's momentum ( F = m.dV/dt ). You will know that rate of change in velocity is acceleration so it is commonly written as F = ma. An example of this is sliding an object across across a frictionless surface in a vacuum. The object will continue with it's original velocity. (i.e. no external forces = no change in momentum).
Is it true that frictional force on a sliding body on a plane is always directed at the angle of friction to the normal?
The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane will be acting parallel to the plane against the motion of the body. But the magnitude of the (kinetic) friction force is proportional to the weight component normal to the plane. The weight component parallel to the plane is the force that tends to slide the body down the inclined plane. When the sliding body has acquire steady velocity, the friction force is equal to the body's sliding force.
