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.

Two cars are moving in the same direction at the same speed of (72.0 kmh). What is
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

0 km/h

Explanation:

Relative speed is the speed of a moving body with respect to another.

When two bodies move in the same direction then the relative speed is calculated as difference of their speeds.

In this case;

The two cars have the same speed. The relative speed will be;

72 km/h -72 km/h = 0 km/h
