How to Solve Inclined Plane Problems

[@emmanlazo9529]

I had to refresh before my final exams tomorrow and this was godsend. Thank you so much, I respect you sir deeply.

[@lepequedamas3549]

Great explanation, teacher I was struggling so much with this kind of problems. The result at the end is not correctly evaluated though, it should be T = 19,67 N Thank you teacher. For more people like you in the world

[@The_MOA.]

This is amazing! I am doing review questions for a retest the night before and I never understood these questions until now. I thought I would have to stay up all night figuring it out.

[@yusufabdalla1106]

Best video I've seen explain this. Should have so many more views.

[@humphreyipeli8706]

One month left before national examination, though my teacher explains but didn't understand well, but once I come across this,it's clarifying my doubts

[@ibrahimrahman2245]

guys at 20.56 it was meant to be a + not -. Thats why you get 6.83

[@captainplane398]

yes i thought so too

[@owennkuna5802]

Fk and Wx are both -ve ,How is it meant to be +ve?

[@huzeifazoher3521]

​@owennkuna5802 its positive

[@brunogreco290]

Your explanations are excellent thank you very much.

[@eggxecution]

I've been struggling with this for years lol thank you so much! but really to understand this video, I have to self study about angles first 😅

[@PhysicsNinja]

You got this!

[@johnlim6177]

Third perspectives helps. Thanks.

[@jprizzuto]

you need to correct ur work at 20:00. the answer, a = 6.83, down the ramp is correct. but (mu)(cos theta) should be a positive value, not negative. the block moves up the ramp with initial velocity 15 m/s, decelerating at 6.83 m/s/s for 2.2 seconds and stalls out after 16.5 meters

[@rolando0151643]

at 20:01 you wrote (ma = mgsin - umgcos) but on top you have (mgsin + uN = ma), why did it change from addition to subtracting?

[@PhysicsNinja]

Because for this problem it’s sliding up the ramp and slowing down. Friction is in the opposite direction.

[@rosalinechirishian5006]

@@PhysicsNinja but shouldnt Wx be negative as well since its in the same direction as the friction?

[@captainplane398]

@@rosalinechirishian5006 i think so too

[@noorsharma1284]

@@rosalinechirishian5006 that's what im saying too, so would the acceleration be negative -6,8m/s^2 ??

[@owennkuna5802]

@@rosalinechirishian5006 i was also thinking that Wx and Fk both pointing in the negative direction .Hence shud both be -ve

[@AshleyYelsha]

when you calculate acceleration in the first problem why do you use sin35 x 5.36? ive never learned it that way//used it like that with the sin component to find time...

[@VorboZerten]

3 in 1 problems… cool ❤❤❤❤

[@JosephAMuniz-hm4jh]

@ 20:00 How did you go from mgsin(theta) "+" mu_kN = max, then substituted in N, mgcos(theta) to somehow get mgsin(theta) "-" mu_k(mgcos(theta)? How does substituting in N suddenly change the expression to "-"? And if I calculate (9.8)(sin35 "+" 0.15cos(35)) I get 6.83... If I use the negative expression you derived after subbing in the N, I get 4.41 m/s. Not sure what's going on here. Please elaborate?

[@kkanyetrump]

I actually had the same question, but after solving, it was nothing but a typo

[@jaypark6552]

Kinetic force should be opposite to Wx, right?

[@abirdas3955]

Great explanation sir, keep it up. Upload more video on physics.

[@fredsmith6324]

at 19:58, shouldn't it be plus, not minus? both forces acting downhill. also, it wouldn't it be more intuitive to make your positive x direction uphill? (direction of motion, and what they are asking for). i realize either way works.

[@PhysicsNinja]

I think I made an error on this problem. Sorry about that, was going too fast.

[@fredsmith6324]

@@PhysicsNinja no prob, great vids! thanks a lot, really working for me and my son who is about to do the AP exam.

[@BeyeneYemane]

thanks for your motive and go ahead.

[@diritasame272]

Friction should be opposing direction?

[@Ninja_Drummer]

Isn't Tension = 19.7N in the last question?

[@jairymwakapola2871]

My thought to

[@italianplumber8859]

Same here. He misread the answer and switched the positions of 6 and 9. It is 19.7 N in 3 s.f. (19.69374694 N)

[@owennkuna5802]

yes even in Problem acceleration should be 4.42m/s2

[@owennkuna5802]

*Problem 2

[@AK47_414]

Great teaching, but Force is vector quantity and you should stay within the coordinate system you define. Tension should be negative.

[@mikemike9930]

Why did you cancel out the m on both sides if you have a value of m=3.5kg

[@captainplane398]

last question should be 19.67?

[@kkanyetrump]

yes

[@krissullivan593]

He can't just go on and edit the video. He would have to create an entire new video and upload it to fix the answer. Hopefully, people will be able to realize that it's just a simple case of getting numbers mixed up in your head. I do this all the time, and according to everyone else that I talk to in the calculus/physics world, is something that almost everyone does.

[@donboser9673]

In problem 2 can you explain why the acceleration is down the incline when you have given an initial velocity upward?

[@fredsmith6324]

slowing down, negative acceleration, or opposite the direction of the velocity. if acceleration is opposite the direction of motion, it indicates it's still moving in the original direction, but slowing down. equivalent to a negative acceleration.

[@GostenDuncan-z2k]

Nice 👍👍. I like this

[@shamsudeenakodu7925]

Why is the angle for calculating components x and y 35degree and no 55degree. Still learning this.

[@WW2Tales.]

Ben affleck, my hero!

[@dv5855]

Using the relationship between Potential and Kinetic energy and solving for "h". "h" being the altitude necessary for block to gain the velocity 15 m/s. Why is equation h = v^2/2g incorrect when solving X = h/sin(35).

[@PaulRipley-z8n]

I used conservation of energy to find the time and got 0.43 seconds. Are you sure it's 0.86 sec?

[@GeraldBosley-cf8ng]

In the first question I'm almost certain you got the distance wrong. The distance is essentially the hypotenuse of the plane, and you used the height instead of the calculated distance to evaluate the time it takes to reach the final position. And why are you calculating the acceleration twice in the kinematic equation? You have sin(35)•(5.62) but that isn't making sense.

[@PhysicsNinja]

Thanks, I’ll fix it

[@PhysicsNinja]

Just checked and first is correct. The sin35 comes from calculating the distance x=h/sin35

[@GeraldBosley-cf8ng]

Okay, thanks for clarifying!

[@michaellineaweaver1912]

Is X at the front of the block or at the back of the block?

[@knowledgeisability3302]

No, I didn't mean well. What force is applied to the inclined surface? It means that the force enters the inclined surface from behind and the inclined surface moves

[@nuthanagantichandrakanth6153]

Bro , Plz do on thermodynamics and kinetics theory of gases

[@PEMPHERODANIEL]

How to make a video like this 😢

[@canonarondavidd.4408]

can I ask.. how to get the angle if you have a mass 100kg , 5m long inclined plane and P.e of 2450J?

[@voizek]

When do you use sin vs cos? Thanks.

[@paulcarrero0506]

I get 19.6 for the T instead of 16.9......

[@QueenKapalu]

Thank you at least I have understood a bit

[@speedspeed121]

6:21 that isn't a right angle down by the Mg LMAO There are more errors in this than a Tour de France drug test

[@costainchifuti8336]

why is the force in the x component downward is it not sliding up

[@zanderman27]

I believe it's because the initial velocity is 15m/s which means initially, the net force is 0 since it is in constant velocity. Although, once it starts to slide up, it accelerates downward, which means the forces in the X direction are pointing downward.

[@omarh7l193]

execuse me , but why in problem 2 the wx is going to the left not to the right

[@PhysicsNinja]

I may have made a mistake. Sorry about that

[@amirulhakimi1913]

Thank you

[@superhessu3]

You could of also calculate the time with Ep=Ek and a=v/t

[@superhessu3]

The time to go down the ramp i mean

[@superhessu3]

Since it is also frictionless so mechanical energy conserves

[@User11181]

So when calculating time, we need to define a distance; here it ignores size of block 😂

[@ricagome]

Why is g positive and not negative 9.8?

[@captainplane398]

normally g is negative because it goes in the opposite direction of whatever force is being calculated, here we consider g as positive because we consider the left direction of the hypotenuse as the positive direction, which is why we get a negative for things like our final displacement because thats in the opposite direction of g, so the right direction of the hypotenuse. It doesnt matter though, the signs only mean direction, so you can have negative g and get positive answers., as long as ur directions are consistent g

[@overlordprincekhan]

16:30 The time calculation is clearly wrong

[@knowledgeisability3302]

Hello, what force should be applied to the inclined surface so that the mass does not move

[@BoxOfCurryos]

the block will not move if Fnet = 0N it is in static equillibrium (velocity and acceleration are 0)
