James gently releases a ball at the top of a slope But does not push the ball. Space the ball rolls down the slope. Which force causes the ball to move downhill

Respuesta :

On an incline, the force causing the ball to move downwards would be gravity. Additionally, the component of gravity causing this ball to move downwards would be mgsintheta.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

m g Sin theta

Explanation:

If a body s placed on an inclined plane, then there are two component of weight of the body . One component is along the plane and the other is perpendicular to the plane.

Let there is an inclined plane which makes an angle theta with the horizontal. A body of mass m is placed on the inclined plane.

The component of weight along the plane is m g Sin theta

The component of weight perpendicular to the plane is m g Cos theta.

So, the force acting on the ball to move downhill is the force acting along teh plane. That means m g Sin theta.
