A car of mass m is on an icy driveway


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 341 People


A car of mass 1460 kg is on an icy driveway inclined at an angle of 33◦. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. If the incline is frictionless, what is the acceleration of the car?Answer in units of m/s^2

Answered by admin @



The acceleration of the car along the frictionless incline is 5.3374m/s

Since the acceleration of the car along the incline if the incline is frictionless is expressed as;

a_y=asin\theta

Given the following:

a = 9.8 m/s²

\theta = 33 degrees

Substituting the given parameters into the formula;

a_y=9.8sin33^0\\a_y=9.8(0.5446)\\a_y=5.3374m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car along the frictionless incline is 5.3374m/s²
