Angle of repose - a simulation

Played 211 times.
5.0 (1 Reviews)
Description:
When a small block slides down a rough inclined plane starting from rest, its motion is influenced by the force of gravity and the frictional force opposing its motion.
As the block moves down the inclined plane, it gains kinetic energy due to the force of gravity. Once it reaches the horizontal surface, the force of gravity is perpendicular to the direction of motion, and the frictional force slows it down.

Instructions:
Play with sliders, adjust angle, pause, resume, slow down to tune simulation according to your need in classroom.
