The force responsible for sliding the block down along the ramp is the component of the weight parallel to the ramp.

The weight of the block is

W=mg=(80 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=784 N

The component of the weight parallel to the ramp is

W_{par} = W sin 30^{\circ}= (784 N)( sin 30^{\circ} )=392 N

And now we can find the acceleration of the box by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{392 N}{80 kg}=4.9 m/s^2


So, the correct answer is

-4.9 m/s2

(the negative just means we have taken "upward along the ramp" as positive direction)

What is one advantage of doing a field experiment instead of a laboratory experiment
Flauer [41]

It mimics the real world accurately

Explanation:

Experiments conducted in the field clearly presents the real world at it is to the scientist. Hardly can any part be controlled precisely and this gives a near to perfect scenario.

  • In the laboratory, for example, an organism is isolated from its environment and might not fully display its natural instinct and physiological capabilities.
  • Most laboratory set up are driven towards a model instead of real life settings.
  • The laboratory is more controlled and less varied and might truly represent the real world. It will only portray a part of the real world and series of further tests might have to be carried out to have a better model.
