Inclined Lab (Friction)
Newton's Laws
Derivation
1. Let the direction of the acceleration be POSITIVE.
2. Derive your equations for the kinetic friction force when:
- sliding up the incline
- sliding down the incline
2. Derive your equations for the kinetic coefficient of friction when:
- sliding up the incline
- sliding down the incline
4. Compare your calculated values with the values calculate by the spreadsheet.
