Hi,
I have few questions in physics, I'm not very good at it, your help will be appreciated  Slight Smile
1. Draw the free body diagram for the cart on an inclined plane. Break the weight vector into
components.
2. Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the angle of the incline? Explain.
3. Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart? Explain.
4. Does the acceleration of the cart along the incline depend on its mass? Explain.
5. Does the acceleration of the cart along the incline depend on the angle of the incline?
Explain.
6. Does the acceleration of the cart along the incline depend on the frictional force? Explain


Thanks!  Smiling Face with Halo

Sorry i cant draw the first but the acceleration due to gravity is only dependent on the incline angle, the mass will not affect it. The acceleration along the incline is dependent of the frictional force and the angle but not the mass.

If a cart moves on a plane that is inclined at an angle θ, the component of the gravitational force
acting on the cart in a direction that is parallel to the surface of the plane is mgsinθ, where m is
the mass of the cart and g is the acceleration due to gravity. therefore the acceleration of the cart should be gsinθ, both up and down the inclined plane. This changes if you add friction which will oppose the effect of the acceleration.

That is correct. Instead of the current title, you could write something like "free body diagram" or something similar.
