A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.19, at what rate does the box accelerate down the slope? A) 4.7 m/s² B) 5.2 m/s² C) 5.5 m/s² D) 6.2 m/s²

The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: a = g(sinθ - μkcosθ), where g = 9.8 m/s², θ = 39°, and μk = 0.19. Plugging in the values gives a ≈ 4.7 m/s².
