Consider a block of mass m sliding down the inclined plane shown below with a frictional force that is given by
Find the blocks speed as a function of time.
Step 1: Identify the system
- The block is the system with the following external forces, A normal force, a gravitational force, and the force of friction.
Step 2: Choose a suitable coordinate system
- A coordinate system with one axis along the direction of motion may make solving the problem easier
Step 3: Draw the Free Body Diagram
Step 4: Define the Force vectors using the above coordinate system
Step 5: Used Newton's second law
