1. Homework Statement
A block of mass m=2.00kg is released from rest at h=5m above the surface of the table, at the top of a theta=30 degrees incline. The frictionless incline is fixed upon a table with a height of 2.0m. a) determine acceleration as it slides down the incline.
b)What is velocity of block as it leaves incline?
c) How far from the table will the block hit the floor?
d)what time interval elapses.
2. Homework Equations
a) F = ma, a = F/m
b) Vf^2 = Vi^2 + (2*a*position)
c) ?
d) position = Vi + 1/2*a*t^2
3. The Attempt at a Solution
I figured out part a, the acceleration, and part b, the velocity at which the object left the incline. However, as soon as the object leaves the incline, it begins falling off the table. If I'm suppose to separate this part of the question into vector components, how would I go about doing that? Can I use the acceleration I found in a) as the horizontal acceleration?
