Kinetic and Static Friction

AP Physics 1· difficulty 4/5

A block of mass 5.05.0 kg slides down a 30°30° incline with kinetic friction coefficient μk=0.20\mu_k = 0.20. The acceleration is closest to (g=10g = 10 m/s²)

  • A

    8.0 m/s²

  • B

    3.3 m/s² (a=g(sinθμkcosθ)a = g(\sin\theta - \mu_k\cos\theta))

  • C

    5.0 m/s²

  • D

    0 m/s²

Explanation

a=g(sin30°0.20cos30°)=10(0.5000.173)=3.27a = g(\sin 30° - 0.20 \cos 30°) = 10(0.500 - 0.173) = 3.27 m/s².
