2. The plan: Video clip of the day Inclined planes Diagrams Modeling inclined planes Forces acting on an inclined plane

3. Inclined Plane Intro:

5. Inclined Planes Force Diagrams: Step #1: –Draw the coordinate system with the x-axis parallel to the ramp. Step #2: –Let the direction pointed downwards be in the positive direction.

6. Step #3: –Break the diagram into it’s components. F g = Force of gravity perpendicular to inclined plane. F g = Force of gravity parallel to inclined plane. Step #4: –The force of gravity will remain the force of gravity regardless of what we do to the situation, thus we can solve for the component of the normal force.

9. Situation: Emma is standing on an icy hill holding a heavy box. The slope of the hill is 30 degrees. Their combined mass is 100kg. Catherine gives Emma a small push which starts Emma’s down hill motion. The kinetic coefficient of friction between Emma and the ice is 0.3. –A) What is Emma’s acceleration? –B) How long will it take Emma to slide 500m? –C) At what speed is Emma traveling at after 500m of sliding?
