- hello I need help in understanding how to solve this problem. I'm really confuse and stuck at the moment 1.) use the slope (m=0.2315) to solve for the acceleration of the crate down the inclined plane. (I need to get this one because i will be getting the acceleration difference of this and other value I solved from other problem.) the clue given to us is that it is related to x= at^2/2 , but still I don't get it how i can solve for the acceleration of the crate down the inclined plane. Please explain so I can easy solve on my own afterwards. Thank you so much!arrow_forwardIf a car's acceleration is negative and starts from rest, will it move?
