“A 2.0 kg block is sliding down an inclined plane with an angle of 25°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.30. Calculate the acceleration of the block down the incline. Show your work. A 5.0 kg box is moving down an inclined plane with an angle of 30°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is 0.20. Calculate the acceleration of the box down the incline. Show your work.”
