The acceleration of the box as it slides down the ramp is 4.9 m/s².
<h3>
What is the acceleration of the box down the incline?</h3>
The acceleration of the box down the incline is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;
F - Ff = ma
where;
- F is the parallel force on the box
- Ff is the frictional force on box = 0
- m is the mass of the box
- a is the acceleration of the box
F - 0 = ma
F = ma
mg sinθ = ma
g sinθ = a
where;
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- θ is the angle of inclination of the incline
a = 9.8 x sin(30)
a = 4.9 m/s²

14. The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

About 5.4 billion years from now, the sun will have exhausted all of its hydrogen. The sun's core will get really hot and dense, thus shrinking; however, the outer region of the sun will expand and grow. ... Even if the expanding dying sun doesn't reach Earth, the sun's high temperatures will completely burn the planet.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force
R = mg where m is mass of the block
Force of friction F = μ x mg
= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8
= 20.68 N
b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so
deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²
acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²
c )
v² = u² - 2 a s
v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s
a = 1.7 m /s
0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s
s = 4.47 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!
