A block is at rest on a frictionless ramp that is elevated 22.0 degrees above the horizontal. a)Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the ramp.

3.67 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces on the object:

Weight force mg pulling straight down,

and normal force N pushing perpendicular to the plane.

Sum the forces in the parallel direction.

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 22.0°)

a = 3.67 m/s²

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
