Question

A box, with a weight of mg = 25 N, is placed at the top of a ramp and released from rest. The ramp measures 4.20 meters horizontally and 3.30 meters vertically. The box accelerates down the incline, attaining a kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp of 54.0 J. There is a force of kinetic friction acting on the box as it slides down the incline. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp?

Step 1

First, we need to find the angle of the incline. We can use the tangent function for this: $\tan(\theta) = \frac{3.30}{4.20}$ $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\frac{3.30}{4.20})$ Show more…
