Urgent! Acceleration of an ice block given mass Homework Statement A 42 kg block of ice slides down a slope of 30 degrees. Assuming friction is negligible, what is the acceleration of the block down the incline? Homework Equations Fnet=max W=mg The Attempt at a Solution I have...

The problem with Force of Friction is that the problem states that it is a frictionless surface

Weight will also be another force that will be important

We have just been taught about force of friction. I know that the incline is very important in determining acceleration

URGENT! Find Acceleration of a sliding object Homework Statement A 42 kg block of ice slides down a 30 degree plane. Assuming friction is negligible, what is the acceleration of the block down the incline Homework Equations F=ma W=mg The Attempt at a Solution I have drawn the...

I would really love some help

I really need help. I know I need to find W which is W=(42kg)(9.8) which is 411.6. That gives me W on the free body diagram. Which now I can find the X and Y components using cos30(411.6) and sin30(411.6). I just do not know where to go on from here. I don't know what equation to use once I have...
