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)

Which of the following criteria can help Linda classify gases as greenhouse gases? gas molecules having three or more atoms gas
ratelena [41]
I think the correct answer would be the third  option. The criteria that could help Linda in classifying whether the gases are greenhouse gases would be gas molecules having at least one oxygen atom. Most of the greenhouse gases has an oxygen atom in their structures especially those that naturally occurs. These gases are CO2, H2O vapor and nitrous oxide.

Starting at t = 0 s , a horizontal net force F⃗ =( 0.285 N/s )ti^+(-0.460 N/s2 )t2j^ is applied to a box that has an initial mom
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum = force x time

Force F = .285 t -.46t²

Since force is variable

change in momentum = ∫ F dt  where F is force

= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt

= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j

When t = 1.9

change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i  -  .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j

= .514i - 1.05 j

final momentum

= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j

= - 2.586 i + 2.85j

x component = - 2.586

y component = 2.85
