Final answer:
The acceleration of a wooden block on an inclined plane is affected by the angle of inclination and the applied force. Mass and kinetic friction are also factors in scenarios where friction is considered. Newton's second law is used to determine the acceleration when the net force and mass are known.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors that will affect the acceleration of a wooden block on an inclined plane include the angle of inclination and the applied force (option D). When a force is applied to a wooden block to move it up an incline, the acceleration of the block is determined by the net force acting on it along the incline and the mass of the block. The force of gravity acting on the block is resolved into two components: one perpendicular to the plane and one parallel to it. The component parallel to the plane causes the block to accelerate down the slope, while any additional applied force could either increase or decrease the block's acceleration depending on its direction.
Friction is another key factor, but as the student's question states that the block was given a push to start in motion on an inclined plane, we'll focus on angle and force as per the provided options. The mass of the block does not directly affect the acceleration since acceleration depends on the net force and mass through Newton's second law (F = ma), where 'a' is acceleration, 'F' is net force, and 'm' is mass.
For example, if a force of 65 N is applied to move a 5 kg wooden block up a frictionless 30° incline, the magnitude of the acceleration can be calculated using Newton's second law. Kinetic friction is not mentioned in this specific scenario, but it would normally act to oppose the motion, diminishing the net force available for acceleration.
