Our professor is letting us redo the questions we missed on our exam for half-credit because the averages for his classes were 50, 60, and 70. I have a couple of q's I am needing help with, please.
What is the acceleration of a 1.8 kg physics book sliding down a 36 degree incline if the coefficient of kinetic friction, uk = 0.452?
What I have so far is Fnetx = Fg sin x (theta) - Ffk. But since Ffk is = uk x Fn, how do I find Fn? Would it be equal to Fg x cos (theta)?
Am I headed in the right direction at all?
