Question

You do a physics lab experiment on another planet. A small block is released from rest at the top of a long frictionless ramp that is inclined at an angle of 36.9 (degrees) above the horizontal. You measure that a small block travels a distance 17.0 m down the incline in 8.00 s. What is the value of g, the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?

Explanation / Answer

h = *sin 36.9 = 17*0.600 =10.2 m
g = V^2/2h = g^2t^2/2h....g cross
2h = gt^2
g = 2h/t^2 = 20.4/64 = 0.318 m/sec^2
