I agree. If you decompose the force of weight on the car, which would point striaght down, it breaks up into 2 parts: one parallel with the surface normal (or normal force) and one perpindicular to the surface normal. The one that is actually pulling the car down the slope is the force that is...

The force moving the car down would the the sine component of the force, or mgsin(theta)

Current is simply movement of charged particles, usually caused by a potential difference (voltage). All of these are examples of current, despite the charge.

In this case, I think that you would need, at some point, to take the mass times g ( 9.8 m/s^2 ) I base this assumption on this fact: the unit of force is Newton, which is the same as kg - m/s^2 SO... W=(f)(d)cos(theta) as you said above. plug in the variables as you have said, expect use...

Ya know, I always find these kinds of mistakes in the media. But seeing how they present this information the masses, and most people don't even know what an electron IS, I applaud them for even trying, even if they fail miserably!

I have a BS in Molecular Biology. I am intersted in bacterial resistances to antibiotics.
