3. An object slides with a constant velocity down an 30 degree incline a) Find the friction force and find the ratio of the mechanical energy that is lost on the way down

Sorry it is constant velocity. mixed up in translation

no it only gives the angle 30 degree and says the velocity is consistent

Okey thanks I will try that. New here so I didn't know where to post

It only says find the mechanical energy that is lost because of friction on the way down the incline. I think U =mgs is the potential energy. energy on the end of the incline is K = ½mv^2 so I think the diffrent between the two is the friction force.

An Object slides with a consistent velocity down an incline that has a 30 degree angle. I'm trying to find the kinetic friction and the ratio that the mechanical energy is lost on the way down. I think I have already calculated µ with F(friction)= µmgcos(θ)=mgsin(θ) out comes Tan(θ) = µ I...
