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.

Answer: D

Explanation: I have my answers VS. Go0gle answers (go0gle answers are pics)

(A) Both have the same day length. Well, Venus doesn't havve the same amount of days. (I already know off the top of my head, but I still searched it up)

(B) Both rotate in the same direction. In school (before Virus) they would always show diagrams of the planets on the projector and Venus doesn't rotate

(C) Both have ample water. No. Venus doesn't have much water >_>
