Acceleration of the object, distance, kinematic coefficient

SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around a physics homework problem involving an object of mass 3.00 kg sliding down a slope inclined at 30 degrees. The object slides a distance of 2.00 m in 1.50 seconds, prompting the need to calculate its acceleration, kinematic friction coefficient, frictional force, and velocity. Participants emphasize the importance of breaking down the problem into vector components and suggest using resources that clarify the relationship between static and kinetic friction. The thread concludes with a reminder to follow forum guidelines regarding homework assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Knowledge of kinematic equations
  • Familiarity with friction concepts, including static and kinetic friction
  • Ability to resolve forces into vector components
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the kinematic equations for uniformly accelerated motion
  • Learn about the calculation of frictional forces, including static and kinetic coefficients
  • Explore vector resolution techniques in physics problems
  • Review resources on inclined plane dynamics and forces acting on objects
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those tackling problems related to motion on inclined planes, as well as educators looking for examples of homework assistance in physics forums.

Hello guys. i know i shouldn't be doing this, but I am asking you if you can help me with a problem for my younger sister, because my major is something else (biology, genetics) and she need this and doesn't know how to solve it..

1. Homework Statement


At an upper end of the slope inclined at 30°, the object stopped at 3,00kg started to slip and then 1,50 seconds, slides down a distance of 2,00m. Find the acceleration of the object, the distance between the object and the slope , kinematic friction coefficient, frictional force acting on the object , 2,00 m, then find the velocity of the object.

Find the acceleration of the object, the distance between the object and the slope , kinematic friction coefficient, frictional force acting on the object , 2,00 m, then find the velocity of the object.

If you can clarify the problem statement:
I understand, there is a sloped surface at an angle inclined 30 degrees above horizontal. There is a mass of 3.00 kg. The box slides down 2.00m and takes 1.5 seconds to do so. Can we assume they are increasing the mass, it was static and not moving as they were increasing mass? Then we can mind Fstatic(max). Then we find what you need to know.

you need to know:

coefficient of kinematic friction
force of friction
and the velocity at t=1.5s
?

First: I will help you, as we aren't supposed to solve H/W haha? but in the mean time I'll work it out (I'm bored).

Here's a site that will help, IT DOESN'T include any slope, but can show the relationship between Fs and Fk. Break the question down into vector components ie

Fnormal = mg (sin or cos) (30 or 60)
