Question

a particle of mass 1.3kg is sliding down a frictionless slope inclined at 30 to the horizontal. the acceleration of the particle down the slope is

Answer 1

`4.9\ m/sec^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of acceleration of the particle down the slope is shown below:-

data provided in the question

Particle of mass = 1.3 kg i,e sliding down

Inclined = 30 to the horizontal

based on the above information

Force is given by

`N = mg\ cos \theta` ............ 1

and sliding force is given by

`F = mg\ sin\alpha`

`a = g(sin\ 30^(\circ))`

`= 9.8* (1)/(2) m/sec^2`

=
`= 4.9\ m/sec^2`

Hence, the acceleration of the particle down the slope is 4.9 m/sec^2
