Forest UCM NLM BlockOnIncline
Consider a block of mass m sliding down the inclined plane shown below with a frictional force that is given by
- [math]\displaystyle{ F_f = kmv^2 }[/math]

Find the blocks speed as a function of time.
Step 1: Identify the system
Step 2: Choose a suitable coordinate system
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
