well i had a test today and one of the questions was this.

:A particle particle mass of 25g rolls up and inclined palne of 20 degree with a Velocity intial of 3.0m/s, there is a frictional force of .4 and at point x2 the velocity is 1.0m/s

What is the acceleration due to friction?

I have been thinking about this since 3 and had to work but i was on my mind the whoe time. I've tried useing K1+U1-Wother=K2+U2
if you can lead me as to where to go with this it would be appreciated.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is that the frictional force in Newtons or the coefficient of friction?
 
that would be the coeff of Fkinetic
