0.646 m

d)

0.55 m

e)

1.85 m

A mass, M, is released from rest on an incline that makes a 40 degree angle with the horizontal. In 5 seconds, the mass is observed to have gone a distance of 2 m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the surface of the incline?

a)

0.97

b)

0.7

c)

0.86

d)

1.2

e)

2.55
