You are sliding down to the right on an icy surface which is slanted at a 16° angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction (uk) between you and the ice is 0.04, and your mass is 90.7 kg. What is your acceleration?

Which of the following is a true statement about the acceleration ~a of the pendulum bob ~a is equal to the acceleration due to gravity. ~a is perpendicular to the bob’s trajectory. ~a is equal to the instantaneous rate of change in velocity. ~a is tangent to the bob’s trajectory.
