Homework Statement
Brick is sliding off a roof, starts at the peak of the roof (7.0 m above ground), slides down roof with kinetic friction value of 0.28, very edge of roof is 4.0 m above ground. Where does the brick land on the ground?

Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted the solution by: [/B]
drawing force diagram of brick (@ = angle of incline, 30 degrees) which gives the acceleration down (acceleration down the roof = positive direction) the roof by:
ma = mgsin@ - frictional force
ma = mgsin30 - 0.28
Now should I just continue to solve for the acceleration and then treat this as a projectile? If so, can someone walk me through it?
Thanks!
