Even so, you are required to post your attempt, so far as it goes.slaw155 said:Homework Statement
A 750kg mass car with initial speed 110km/h coasts up a slope inclined at 2.5degrees to the horizontal to a height of 22m above its starting point. What is the average force of friction?

No real clue about this one
The Attempt at a Solution
As above, I don't really have an idea on how to do this. I've drawn a force vector diagram and considered energy but can't seem to work it out.

A tough inclined plane problem is a physics problem that involves calculating the force and motion of an object on an inclined plane. It can be challenging because it requires an understanding of vector components, friction, and other concepts.
To solve a tough inclined plane problem, you must first draw a free-body diagram and identify all the forces acting on the object. Then, you can use trigonometry and Newton's laws of motion to calculate the net force and acceleration of the object.
One common mistake is forgetting to take into account the force of friction, which can significantly affect the motion of an object on an inclined plane. Another mistake is not properly breaking down the force vectors into their horizontal and vertical components.
Practicing with different types of inclined plane problems and understanding the underlying concepts can make solving these problems easier. It can also help to break down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts and to double-check your calculations.
Inclined planes are commonly used in everyday life, such as ramps, hills, and even escalators. They are also used in engineering and physics to understand the motion of objects on sloped surfaces, such as in roller coasters and vehicle design.
