Inclined Planes — Quiz
Test your understanding of inclined planes with 5 practice questions.
Practice Questions
Question 1
A $10 \, \text{kg}$ block is on a frictionless inclined plane at $20^\circ$. What is the acceleration of the block down the incline?
Question 2
A $5 \, \text{kg}$ block on an inclined plane is held in place by friction. The angle of the incline is $25^\circ$, and the block is just on the verge of sliding. What is the coefficient of static friction?
Question 3
A block of mass $8 \, \text{kg}$ is placed on a $10^\circ$ incline. What is the normal force acting on the block? (Assume no friction)
Question 4
A $2 \, \text{kg}$ block is on a frictionless inclined plane at $30^\circ$. What is the net force acting on the block along the incline?
Question 5
A block of mass $6 \, \text{kg}$ is on an inclined plane at $15^\circ$ with a coefficient of kinetic friction $0.1$. What is the frictional force acting on the block?
