    Gravity's effect on a cart sliding down an incline

    Hello, I've just joined this forum in hopes of finding some help to my physics problems. I usually can find out what to do by myself, but this problem seems to be requiring some advanced concepts...or it maybe is so that I'm just not using my noodle. A car is sliding down an inclined plane...

    How can I solve these two physics problems involving work and springs?

    Any Hints?? I'm stuck on these 2 problems.. Any hints would be helpful! 1. What is the minimum work needed to push a 950-kg car 810m up along a 9 degree incline? a) ignore friction, b) assume the effective coefficient of a friction retarding the car is .25. This is what I did, but I don't...

    Need help/hints on incline problem

    a block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane. the angle of incline is 35 degrees, and the initial velocity is 8.2 ft/s. how far up the plane does the block travel? how long does it take to get there? and what is its speed when it gets back to the bottom?

    How far will a sliding block on an inclined plane move before coming to rest?

    Please Help, I've asked two physics majors for help now and they can't tell me can anyone be of assistance? A block with a mass m=16.5 slides down an inclined plane with a slope angle of 32.7 degress with a constant velocity. It is then projected up the same plane with an initial speed of...

    What is the Minimum Horizontal Force Needed for a Block to Slide Up an Incline?

    Greetings fellow physicists! I am stuck on a problem, please help. The situation is a block on a rough incline (trainglular block), the incline itself is on a frictionless table. A horizontal force is applied to the incline. The question is to find the minimum horizontal force needed so that...

    Moving Mass on a Moving Incline

    Here is another problem I'm struggling with: A mass m is sitting on an rough incline of mass M who in turn is resting on a frictionless surface. What minimum force F must be applied to the non-inclined side of the incline to make mass m move up the incline. The coefficient of static friction...

    Ball, spring and curved incline - is this right?

    Ball, spring and curved incline -- is this right? Picture a smooth, level, frictionless surface (A) that leads into a curved incline (B-C). The top of the incline (C) is 0.4 meter above the flat surface. At the start of A is a spring with a spring coefficient of 10, with one end fixed and a...

    2 Masses, A pulley, Friction and an incline problem

    i'm trying to teach myself how to do this for hours and have come up with very little. here's the problem: An inclined plan making an angle of 45 degress with the horizontal has a frictionless pulley on its top. A 3-kg block(call it B) on the plane is connected to a freely hanging 4-kg...

    What is the deceleration on an incline?

    Hey all, I have a question. How can I calculate the deceleration of an object that begins to go up an incline of angle X? See there are a lot of problems like this. One of mine for example involves an object entering an incline of 25 degrees at 0.25 m/s, and I need to calculate how far it...

    Acceleration on an Incline: Calculating Net Acceleration and Final Speed

    Question: The record for grass skiing was set blah blah blah. Suppose it took Spinka 6.60 s to reach his top speed after he started from rest down a slope with a 34 degree incline. If the coefficient of friction between the skis and the grass was 0.198, what was the magnitude of Spinka's net...

    What is the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction for an Inclined Object?

    OK here's the problem: An extremely light drivable car with a mass of only 9.50 kg was built. Suppose that the wheels of the car are locked, so that the car no longer rolls. If the car is pushed up a 30° slope by an applied for of 80.0 N, the net accel. of the car is 1.64 m/s2. What is the...

    Solving Physics Problem: 24.5N Brick on 30° Incline

    ok, this is very simple... I think. Unfortunately my physics book is useless. A brick weighing 24.5N being released from rest on a 1.00M frictionless plane, inclined at an angle of 30 degrees. The brick slides down the incline and strikes a second brick (on a flat frictionless surface)...

    Robots and traction on an incline

    I'm a high school teacher. I have students competing by racing Lego robots up an incline. I can calculate the force due to friction down the incline and the force of gravity parallel to the plane but am unable to clearly identify the relatioship between these two forces and whether a robot...

    Is there any point on setting an incline on a treadmill?

    Since the runner's level does not actually change, they are not doing any work against gravity. Their total output wattage -- if it can be measured -- should be the same regardless of inclination. Yet, running on an inclined treadmill seems more difficult. Is the difference purely in the...
