No matter how many times i do it, i seem to be doing something wrong :|
A wet bar of soap (150 g) slides without friction down a ramp (2.0 m) long inclined at 7.3degrees. How long does it take to reach the bottom? Neglect friction.
& How would this change if the soaps mass were 250 grams?
stated below>>
So i tried to calculate Fnet using sine.
since Fg=1.5kg*9.8=14.7N
Then i did, sin7.3=x(aka fnet) / 14.7
x = 12.5
Then: Fnet = ma
12.5=0.15a
a=83.3
then
d=vit+1/2at^2
2=0+1/2(83.3)t^2
2/(1/2*83.3)=t^2
Suqareroot(0.048)=t
t=0.219 or around there.
However the answer is 1.8 seconds?
Can anyone help me see what I am going wrong?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
EDIT:::
Sorry, nevermind, turns out my calc was in radian mode -facepalm- Good grief.
