The lower the angle of the slope, ________ the acceleration along the ramp, therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will be_______, and, consequently, the control will be better.
The acceleration along the ramp, therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will be:__________
a. lower
b. gcostheta
c. higher
d. gsintheta

Respuesta :

Answer:

Lower

Lower

gsintheta (gsinθ)

Explanation:

The sum of forces resolved parallel to the inclined plane is given by;

F - mgsinθ = 0

ma - mgsinθ = 0

ma = mgsinθ

a = gsinθ

Acceleration is proportional to angle of inclination, thus the lower the angle of the slope, lower the acceleration along the ramp.

therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will be lower, (velocity is directly proportional to acceleration) and, consequently, the control will be better.

The acceleration along the ramp, is gsintheta (gsinθ)
