A block of mass 3 kg slides down an inclined plane inclined at 30° with respect to horizontal. The frictional force between the block and the plane is 8.7 N and the length of the plane is 1 m. What is the work done by the net force when the block reaches the bottom of the plane? and why?
find the net force first
is the answer 6j @random231
howd u get it?
the net force is the force of gravity minus the force of friction Fnet = Fgravity - Friction Fnet = m*g*sin30 - 8.7 we use m*g*sin30 because only a component of the force of gravity is causing the block to slide down the incline. so Fnet = 6 Work = Fx where F is the net force and x is the distance W = 6 * 1 W = 6J
yah well actually 6.3 ok
u r right
how did you do it?
same way theres no other alternative
thanks!
