a 0.35 kg block accelerates down a frictionless ramp at a rate of 1.5 m/s2. what angle is the ramp in relation to the horizontal?



Answer :

Qwdog

The angle of the ramp in relation to the horizontal component of the box is 1.42°

The mass of the block is 0.35 kg

The rate at which the box accelerates = 1.5 m/s²

The angle of the ramp can be found using the formula,

             F = mgcosθ

where F is the force

          m is the mass

          g is the acceleration due to gravity

          θ is the angle of the ramp

We also know that

            F = ma

Thus,

        ma = mgcosθ

           a = gsinθ

Let us rearrange the above equation,

        θ = cos⁻¹(a/g)

Let us substitute the known values in the above equation, we get

      θ = cos⁻¹ (1.5 / 9.8)

         = cos⁻¹ (0.15)

         = 1.42°

Therefore, the angle of the ramp is 1.42°
