Sorry, what I meant by the x acceleration being the same was that I meant it would be the same as I have already calculated to be -10.935.
The two forces acting parallel to the direction are the gravitational force of 9.81*5.6*Tan(30) and the Frictional force. I think.
Thank you for your prompt response. I'm am having a hard time understanding your help.
I should set the direction of the incline to the x-axis. So wouldn't that make the \sum F_y=ma_Y equal to zero? Then the \sum F_x=ma_X would be the same becuase my acceleration is th same?
I don't...
I am struggling a little bit on this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Homework Statement
A 5.60 kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of v0 = 8.10 m/s. The block comes to rest after traveling 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of 30.0° to...
