A block slides down an inclined plane of slope angle A with constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed Vo.
a) How far up the incline will it move before coming to rest?
b) Will it slide down again?
So when it comes at rest, Vy = 0, Vx = 0
Since it slides down at a constant velocity, the angle must be such that the force of friction allows it to slide down without an applied force. So I believe it will slide down again.
y = Voyt - (1/2)gt^2
x = Voxt
tanA = y/x
I'm not too sure how to proceed from here, I know I will have to solve for time to get the distance in other terms
