1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
An object is released (from rest) at the top of an inclined plane. After time t, the object has moved a distance d down an incline. What is its acceleration
2. Relevant equations
There is some stuff written in regards to this question about using only time and distance to calculate the acceleration - so that leaves the equations:
y=y0+vy0t+1/2ayt2
x=x0+v0t
3. The attempt at a solution
Using the equation for y:
0=h + 1/2ayt2
thanks in advance for your help!
