If she increases this acceleration by 14% how much does she accelerate. I hate my physics class. This is the only class where I do my homework online. Get the answer wrong on one part of the question, use the wrong answer for another part, and get the right answer for another part. Here is another one:
A 19.0 kg box is released on a 34.0° incline and accelerates down the incline at 0.03 m/s2. Find the friction force impeding its motion. What is Mu?
I wouldn't be asking these questions if the didn't confuse me and my teachers confuse me even more.
Adam,

My apologies for what I am about to say... These are fairly simple questions... If they confuse your teachers, find a new teacher.

JMHO
