A box with an initial speed of 6ms is moving up a ramp. The ramp has a kinetic friction coefficient of 25 and an incline of 5π12. How far along the ramp will the box go?

Ans: 1.9 m

Explanation:

Given:
u = 6m/s.
μ =2/5 = 0.6
θ=5π12=75degrees

For an inclined plane,

a=g(sinθμcosθ)
a=9.8(sin750.4cos75)
a=8.45ms2

Again, v=u(asinθ)t
uasinθ=t
t=0.634s

Thus,
s=ut12gsinθt2

Therefore, s=1.9m
