[V@ndy87]

A mass of 5 kg is released from rest on a smooth incline making an angle of 37 to the horizontal. The radial component of acceleration is closest to:
 
  1.10 m/s
  2.8 m/s
  3.6 m/s
  4.4 m/s
  5.2 m/s
  6.0 m/s
  7.Exactly halfway between 2 of the above answers
  8.The negative of one of the answers above
  9.It is impossible to determine the tangential component of the block's acceleration
  10.I do not know what is meant by tangential in this situation
