Question 3
“‘latex Question 3:
A block of mass m= 2 kg is placed on a frictionless incline of angle
θ= 30◦. A force of magnitude F= 15 N is applied on the block parallel
to the incline. Find:
a) The acceleration of the block. b) The normal force acting on
the block. c) The force of gravity acting on the block. d) The net
force acting on the block.
Solution:
a) The force component parallel to the incline is F∥=Fsin(θ) =
15 sin(30◦)=7.5N.
The acceleration of the block can be calculated using the equation
Fnet =ma, where Fnet =F∥= 7.5N.
Thus, ma = 7.5N=⇒2a= 7.5N=⇒a= 3.75 m/s2.
Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 3.75 m/s2.
b) The normal force acting on the block can be calculated using
the equation PF⊥= 0, where PF⊥is the sum of forces perpendicular
to the incline.
The normal force is the force acting perpendicular to the incline
and it counteracts the component of gravity perpendicular to the
incline.
Thus, N−mg cos(θ) = 0 =⇒N−2×9.81 ×cos(30◦)=0.
Solving for N, we get N= 2 ×9.81 ×cos(30◦).
Therefore, the normal force acting on the block is NN.
c) The force of gravity acting on the block is given by mg, where
m= 2 kg and g= 9.81 m/s2.
Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the block is 2×9.81 N.
d) The net force acting on the block is simply the component of
the applied force parallel to the incline, as there is no friction.

Therefore, the net force acting on the block is 7.5N. “‘

causing the car to decelerate at a rate of 4 m/s2. Find: a) The net
force acting on the car during deceleration. b) The distance the car
travels before coming to a stop.
Step-by-step Solutions: a) To find the net force acting on the car
during deceleration, we can use Newton’s second law:
F=ma
where F= net force, m= 1500 kg (mass of the car), and a=−4m/s2
(deceleration).
Substitute the values into the formula:

F=−6000 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the car during deceleration is
−6000 N.

Question 24
A car of mass 1500 kg is traveling along a straight road at a speed
of 20 m/s. The driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car
to decelerate at a rate of 5 m/s2. Find the distance the car travels
before coming to a stop.
Step-by-step solution:
Given: Mass of the car, m= 1500 kg Initial speed of the car,
vi= 20 m/s Deceleration rate, a=−5m/s2(negative because it’s de-
celerating)
We can use the equation of motion to find the distance traveled
by the car before coming to a stop:
v2
f=v2
i+ 2a·d
where: vf= 0 m/s (final speed, as the car comes to a stop) d=
distance traveled
Plugging in the values, we get:
0 = (20)2+ 2(−5) ·d
Solving for d:
0 = 400 −10d
10d= 400
d=400
10 = 40 m
Therefore, the car travels 40 meters before coming to a stop.Question
