A block accelerates at 3.2 down a plane inclined at an angle 30 degrees. Acceleration of gravity is 9.8. Whats the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane?

Static friction does not apply when the block is already moving. Without friction, the force on the block parallel to the surface of the incline is Fg*sin(angle), so the acceleration without friction is 9.8* sin(30) = 9.8 * (1/2) = 4.9 Since it is accelerating at 3.2, friction is slowing down the block by (4.9-3.2 = 1.7). The coefficient of kinetic friction is (1.7/4.9) = 0.346939

What are the parts to an inclined plane?

It is determined by the angle. The angle of the incline must be an acute angle. It is used to give a mechanical advantage, such as pushing a cart across the incline, rather than lifting it to the final height.

How is wedge an inclined plane?

Yes , a wedge is also an inclined plane because they both are a block of wood cut in half going downward .


Which angle hits a mirror or glass block?

The angle does not hit anything! A ray of light hits a mirror or glass block and the angle that the ray makes with the vertical at the point of contact is the angle of incidence.

A 5.0 kg wooden block is placed on an adjustable wooden inclined plane. What is the angle of incline above which the block will start to slide down the plane .57?

mgsin (theta) - (static) mu * mgcos(theta) = 0 rearrange the equation and cancal mg therefore, tan ( theta) = mu (static) theta = arctan (static mu) If the static coefficient is 0.57, then theta = arctan (0.57) theta = 29.7 degree Note: from the equation, the mass of the block is independent to the angle. Whether you have a bigger block or smaller block, it will start sliding @ 29.7 degree.


A wooden block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plan and slides down to the bottomWhat convertions of energy are taking place as the block goes down the inclined plane?

Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


How can an adjustable inclined plane be used to measure the coefficient of static friction and coefficient of static friction with a mass of 5.0?

Incline the plane until breakaway is achieved and note the angle. > A) Sin angle * 5 = force down (and parallel to) the slope in kgf. > B) Cos angle * 5 = force (weight) of block normal to slope surface. > Static friction coefficient = A / B
