A ball is rolled down an inclined plane at different angles.If the angle between the inclined plane and the ground increases what is true about the speed of the ball?

The inclined plane is studied by mechanics and, to calculate it, we use Newton's Second Law.

Is a block of mass “m” supported by an inclined ramp at an angle? with respect to the horizontal plane. Despise the friction.

Forces acting on the body are: image 1

P: Force weight = P = m.g

Where: g = 9,8 m / s2

m = body mass given in kg.

FN: Normal reaction force to the plane.

When we neglect friction we notice that the body moves downwards. image 2
