Show that the potential energy of a body raised vertically to a height h is the same as the potential energy of the body raised to the same height along a smooth inclined plane.

Prove that the work done by a body sliding down a smooth inclined plane , from a height h to the ground level, is the same as the work done in a free fall from the same height h to the ground .

A body is kept on a horizontal rough plane. The plane is then gradually raised to an inclination of 30^(@) with the horizontal and the body starts to slide down. The body descends 12 m along the inclined plane in the next 4 s. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surfaces in contact.

A body is sliding down an inclined plane having coefficient of friction 0.5. If the normal reaction is twice that of the resultant downward force along the inclined plane , then find the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal.

Height of the vertex of an inclined plane is h . From the vertex , a body is released along the inclined plane . Explain whether the kinetic energy of the body at the base of the inclined plane depends on the inclination.
