Unit 8d: Showing forces on incline planes.
Practice Problems, worksheet 1 Example: Let's say we havea $ kg block and
the angle, 0= 20 degrees
‘Showing forces for objects on incline planes. First, draw a
vector straight dow from the object's center. This vector
Indicates the object’s weight. Label this W or Fy. Then
show its components, Weipa) and Ws (pedi
Finally, show the Normal force, N.

(1) Let’s say we have a 3000 Ib (13350 N or 1362.245 kg) car at rest on a 15
degree hill. Diagram and calculate the forces on the car and determine the car’s
acceleration. Ifthe car's starts from rest, and the hill is 85 meters long, what
‘would be the car’s final velocity at the end of the hill? How much time would the
car take to go down the hill? ee oR = may 49°
