A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed of 3.50 m/s. The angle of incline is 32 degrees. How far up the planes does the block go? How long does it take to get there? What is its speed when it gets back to the bottom.
[tex]\vec{F}_{net} = \Sigma \vec{F} = m \vec{a}[/tex]
[tex](\vec{F}_{net})_x = \Sigma F_x = 0[/tex]
[tex](\vec{F}_{net})_y = \Sigma F_y = 0[/tex]
I don't really understand how to start this problem. The only thing I could think of was to break the velocity into x and y components and once I do that I really don't know where to go from there...
(my first post so I'm sorry if I did not follow the guidelines of everything should be presented)
