Motion down a smooth incline — objective 1
Maths4U Original · Short practice
A 7 kg particle starts from rest and slides 9 m down a line of greatest slope of a smooth fixed plane. The acute angle α satisfies \(\displaystyle \sin\alpha=\frac{3}{5},\quad\cos\alpha=\frac{4}{5}\). It meets no obstacle. Use \(\displaystyle g= \frac{10m}{s^{2}}\).
Find the acceleration down the plane in \(\displaystyle \frac{m}{s^{2}}\).
Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. Use the requested units and positive direction; enter the number without its unit. Angles here use degrees. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
