Yes, I got 2.83 m/s, which is apparently the correct answer. Thank you.
Though, why is that, exactly? It being the perpendicular component, that is. I've understood that as the parallel component and I've always seemed to do well with it.
Homework Statement
A block of ice with mass 2.0 kg slides 0.90 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 27° below the horizontal. If the block of ice starts from rest, what is its final speed? Friction can be neglected.
m = 2.0 kg
s = 0.90 m
θ = 27°
