Kinematic Equation: Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad
8^2=0^2+2a(16)
64=32a
a=2m/s^2

Weight is the force of gravity acting on a body. By newton's second law, that force can be calculated as W=mg, where g is the acceleration of gravity, 9.81 m/s^2. So, for the intrepid climber, this would be approximately 88.6 x 10 Newtons or about 886 Newtons.

Answer:

2.77 m/s^2

Explanation:

For simplicity, we will say that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular to the inclined plane. The force that the surface applies on the block N will be perpendicular to the plane. The force of friction can be expressed like this:

$Fr = u*N$

Where u is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

The x-component and y-component of the weight force will be:

$W_y = W*cos(37)\\W_x = W*sin(37)$

In the y-axis, the acceleration of the block is 0. Then:

$N - W_y = 0\\N = W_y = W*cos(37) = m*g*cos(37)$

In the X-axis, the summation of forces would be:

$W_x - Fr = m*a\\m*g*sin(37) - u*N = m*g*sin(37) - u*m*g*cos(37) = ma\\a = \frac{mg(sin(37)-u*cos(37))}{m} = 9.81m/s^2*(sin(37)-0.4*cos(37))=2.77m/s^2$
