TopicMotion on a slope

2 A particle of mass 0.1 kg is released from rest on a rough plane inclined at \(20 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. It is given that, 5 seconds after release, the particle has a speed of \(2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Find the acceleration of the particle and hence show that the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the particle is 0.302 N , correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Find the coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane.
