    How Does Newton's Second Law Apply on an Inclined Plane?

    According to my calculations, mg sin(60) (9.8*20*sin(60)) doesn't come out to 59.742...

    How Do Newton's Laws Apply to a Block and Toboggan on a Frictionless Surface?

    *friction acting on the toboggon

    How Do Newton's Laws Apply to a Block and Toboggan on a Frictionless Surface?

    delphi is right, accel would be in the same direction of friction because the ground is frictionless...

    How Do Newton's Laws Apply to a Block and Toboggan on a Frictionless Surface?

    I answer your question with a question of my own: What way is the friction between the box and the toboggon acting on the toboggon?

    How Do Newton's Laws Apply to a Block and Toboggan on a Frictionless Surface?

    The 30N are only working on the block... what is pulling the toboggon forward?
