Kinematics of motion in a straight line — practice question
A particle with mass $0.8\text{ kg}$ is launched at a speed of $12\text{ m s}^{-1}$ up the line of greatest slope on a rough plane inclined at $10^\circ$ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is $0.4$.
(i)[4]
Find the particle’s acceleration.
(ii)[2]
Find how far the particle travels up the plane before it comes to rest.
