Physics - Mechanics: The Inclined Plane (2 of 2) With Friction

This lecture series will cover Newton's Second Law of Physics: F=ma.

In this video, I will demonstrate how this applies to an incline that has friction.

Problem Text:
A 50kg mass is placed on an incline that makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the mass and incline is 0.2. Find its acceleration.

Your handwriting. It's beautiful. I've never had a science or math teacher with legible handwriting.

Large Marge,
Because I am very appreciative for what the US has done for me and my family.

[richardyap]

If only my teacher explained the problem like you do 35 yrs back. It could change my life altogather. Thank you.

[desena]

This guy is to physics what Tyler Dewitt is to Chemistry. Thank you so much.

[millionsnette]

He explains this so much better than my teacher, who just made it very complicated and difficult. SMH
Thanks Prof. Biezen!

This man condensed 2 hours of lecture and text book nonsense into a 7 minute video that's easy to digest and understand. Thank you

No incline means that mg sin(theta) = 0 and thus there is no acceleration

I'm abt to cry bc of how happy I am now that I finally understand

[SadnanSanim]

can u please tell me what if the the block was not released from rest, but instead travelling up the slope

I've been teaching two years and have only just discovered this YouTuber. Very, very good videos -- excellent modelling of how to solve a physics problem.

[baljitkaur]

the whole semester i didn't learn anything in the class but from your 7 min video i learned everything you are the best teacher i have ever seen, the way you teach i swear thats what teaching is called.

[betterffd]

I'll take this explanation over Khan Academy's any day.

[abhishekpathak]

I don't know if you'll read this, but you have genuinely saved my life

[Zombianca]

I have spent hours watching your lectures to help me pass my physics midterm, thank you so much.

This made so much more sense than my teacher, one question though, why is the perpendicular component of gravity cos and the parallel sin? What angle are you using to determine that?

[arxaion]

In the beginning I had wanted to cry manly tears.




In the end I was crying manly tears - of joy.

[itsalifestyle]

I learned it effortlessly, much better than khan academy. Thank you!

[ybgvqkt]

I am a student from Iraq and have benefited a lot from you sir. I thank you for this effort

[shaikaanjum]

Love from INDIA🇮🇳
I understood the concept very well....

[annas]

this video is the reason i am going to pass my physics test today! THANKYOU!!!
