The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:

Since there is no friction or any other external force, the only force acting in the direction of the movement is the component of the weight of the block, therefore, applying Newton's second law:

\Sigma F=ma

Replacing the values:

mg\sin 40=ma

We may cancel out the mass:

g\sin 40=a

Using the gravity constant as 9.8 meters per square second:

9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\sin 40=a

Solving the operations:

6.3\frac{m}{s^2}=a

Therefore, the acceleration is 6.3 meters per square second.

How much force does a soccer goalie
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

2 N

Explanation:

From the question, it's given that

Mass m = 0.2 kg

Acceleration a = 10 m/s^2

The force a soccer goalie experience when stopping a ball will be equal to the force at which the ball is being kicked. This is

F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

F = 0.2 × 10

F = 2 Newton.
