Calculating Frictional Force on a Moving Car on a Slope

In summary, the expert can help with a wide range of topics in physics and can assist with homework by providing explanations, solving practice problems, and offering resources and tips for studying. If a concept or problem is not understood, the expert can break it down and provide further explanation. It is recommended to try solving problems on your own first and use the expert's explanations as a guide. The expert can also help with last-minute homework, but it is advised to seek help earlier for a better understanding of the material and to avoid stress.

Homework Statement


A 2,254-kg car is moving down a road with a slope of 10 degrees while speeding up at a rate of 1.1 m/s^2. What is the direction and magnitude of the frictional force?
(define positive in the forward direction, i.e., down the slope)?


Homework Equations


ax=μgcos-gsin


The Attempt at a Solution


μ=ax/gcos-gsin 1.1m/9.81(cos10-sin10)=0.138 i keep on getting this answer.
