An object with a mass m slides down a rough 37° inclined plane where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. If the plane is 10 m long and the mass starts from rest, what will be its speed at the bottom of the plane?

We have that the speed at the bottom of the plane is

From the question we are told that:

Angle of slide

Coefficient of kinetic friction

Length

Generally, the equation for acceleration along the slide is mathematically given by

Therefore

Velocity v is  is mathematically given by

In conclusion

The speed at the bottom of the plane is

9.312 m/s

Explanation:

The friction force (opposite to the motion) is Fa = μ*m*g*cos(α) with μ = kinetic friction. The force that makes the motion is

F = m*g*sin(α).

The Newton's law gives:

F - Fa = m*a

m*g*sin(α) - μ*m*g*cos(α) = m*a

g*sin(α) - μ*g*cos(α) = a so a = 4.335 m/s²

It's a uniformly accelerated motion:

Space

S = 0.5*a*t²

10 = 0.5*a*t²

=> t = 2.148 s

Velocity

V = a*t = 9.312 m/s.
