A300-kg crate is placed on a adjustable incline plane. as one end of the incline is raised, the crate begins to move downward. if the crate slides down the plane with the acceleration of .70 m/s2 , when the incline is 25degrees, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between ramp and crate?

Explanation:

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
