    Unfortunately no. Only the angle of elevation and speed of the object.

    Mass of an Object Moving Down a Slope.

    R is the resistance force on the object (friction, air resistance etc.). Basically the forces going in the opposite direction to the skateboard.

    Mass of an Object Moving Down a Slope.

    Hello, I am trying to find the magnitude of the resistance force of an object moving down a slope. The question I was given says: A skateboarder heads down a gentle slope (Θ=5°) at a constant speed of 5m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the resistance force. Using the equation mgSinΘ - ma = R, (g...
