A box slides with friction up a ramp, comes to rest briefly, and then slides back down. Which of the following statements about this motion is true?
W) The magnitude of the acceleration of the box at any point sliding up the ramp is greater than the magnitude of the acceleration at the same point down the ramp
X) The magnitude of the acceleration of the box at any point sliding down the ramp is greater than the magnitude of the acceleration at the same point up the ramp
Y) The magnitude of the acceleration of the box at any point sliding up the ramp is the same as the magnitude of the acceleration of the box at the same point down the ramp and is non-zero
Z) The magnitude of the acceleration of the box at any point sliding up the ramp is the same as the magnitude of the acceleration of the box at the same point down the ramp and is zero
✔️Answer:W) THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE BOX AT ANY POINT SLIDING UP THE RAMP IS GREATER THAN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ACCELERATION AT THE SAME POINT DOWN THE RAMP
