Question

answer parts a and b. thank u!

**Problem 6:** A toy car is rolling down the ramp as shown in the figure. The car's mass is \( m = 1.9 \) kg and the ramp makes an angle of \( \theta = 17 \) degrees with respect to the horizontal. Assume the car is rolling without friction.

**Diagram Explanation:** 

The diagram shows a right triangle representing the ramp with an angle \( \theta \) at the base. The toy car is placed on the inclined ramp and is indicated by a small black shape facing downhill with an arrow showing the direction of motion. The \( x \) and \( y \) axes are drawn perpendicular and parallel to the inclined surface, respectively.

**Part (a)**

Using the coordinate system specified, give an expression for the acceleration of the car in terms of \( \theta \), \( g \), and the unit vectors \( \mathbf{i} \) and \( \mathbf{j} \).

\( a = \) [Blank input for calculation]

**Keyboard for Input:**

The available mathematical symbols and inputs include trigonometric functions (cosine and sine of \( \alpha, \phi, \theta \)), Greek letters (\( \beta, \theta, \alpha \)), unit vectors (\( \mathbf{i}, \mathbf{j}, \mathbf{k} \)), numerical digits (0-9), arithmetic operations (\( +, -, *, / \)), parentheses, and other mathematical symbols.

**Part (b)**

What is the magnitude of this acceleration in \( \text{m/s}^2 \)?
