well the only forces acting on the block i would imagine would be gravity+friction?
edit: oh i might have forgotten to mention, the block has already accelerated pretty fast by some magnets.. (4.7gs i calculated) then it's just moving by itself from there on. It's initial velocity is 50.9m/s...
Thanks for your reply!
there is a image, it's basically a mass traveling down a triangle, i need to find theta/the angle of incline for the mass acceleration to be 0m/s^2
edit: that thing it's traveling down is 172m long
Homework Statement
The question asks, At what angle would the straight need to be inclined at in order for the acceleration of the pod from B to C to be 0m/s^2?
and if the straight was inclined at 3 degrees calculate the final velocity
the coefficient of friction is 0.17 the mass is 6000kg the...
