If you were to double the mass of a block and cart sliding down a slope, what effect would this have on displacement?

This would increase friction against the objects therefore the displacement would be halved correct?

F=?mg is the formula you would use isnt it?

Answer #1

Concept -as the mass increases, the friction force increases but the component of the gravitational force down the slope also increases. Hence the effect of increased friction force is cancelled out by the increase of component of gravitational force along the incline.

1. First consider a mass on an inclined slope of angle θ, and assume the motion is frictionless. Sketch this arrangement: 2. As the mass travels down the slope it travels a distance x parallel to the slope. The change in height of the mass is therefore xsinθ. By conserving energy, equate the change of gravitational potential energy, mgh = mgxsinθ, to the kinetic energy for the mass as it goes down the slope. Then rearrange this to find an...

Chemical Reactions Types and Their Equations Making Heat with Chemical Reactions Have you ever wondered how an instant heat pack works? A disposable heat pack works by a chemical reaction that combines iron in the package with oxygen from the air when the outer packaging is removed producing iron oxide. You have probably seen the product of this reaction in what is commonly called rust. The reaction releases heat, which allows the pack to reach a sufficient temperature that is...
