    Calculating Work on an Incline: Using Cosine of Theta for 30 Degrees

    ok i think i got it the axis would be along the incline in this case and to find the work done by the force acting on the object would be 500 x 3 x cos0

    Calculating Work on an Incline: Using Cosine of Theta for 30 Degrees

    if I am trying to determine the work done by a force on an object being pushed up an incline and am using the formula work = forcexdistancexcosine of theta and the angle of the incline from the ground is say 30 degrees, distance along the plane is 3 and force is 500N. would I use cosine of...

    Mastering physics answers wrong

    A block of mass 1.00kg sits on an inclined plane as shown. A force of magnitude 100N is pulling the block up the incline at constant speed. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is 0.500. The inclined plane makes an angle 30.0 degrees with the horizontal...
