A mass M is released from rest on a smooth plane inclined to the horizontal at 14 degrees. Find the time taken for the mass to travel 1m down the incline and the velocit attained at the end of that time.
I had no trouble with the first part - measuring the velocity and time for the part where it slides down the inclined plane.
However, the part where I am having trouble with is attempting to find the angle in which the mass makes with the ground and its line of motion when it completes the second part of its journey.
Anyone have any hints to do this? I drew a free body force diagram but I was really confused with the lines of motion.
