Starting from rest, a 4.4-kg block slides 2.70 m down a rough 30.0° incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is µk = 0.436.
(a) Determine the work done by the force of gravity. J
(b) Determine the work done by the friction force between block and incline. J
(c) Determine the work done by the normal force. J
(d) Qualitatively, how would the answers change if a shorter ramp at steeper angle were used to span the same vertical height?
