This is an interactive homework problem appropriate for non-science majors relating to Newton's Second Law and gravitational acceleration. It features a block at rest atop an incline, with angle of incline and ramp length given. Students must determine the time required for the block to reach the bottom. A user-activated "help" sequence is provided for each step of the problem-solving, from conceptual analysis through calculation. Immediate feedback is received for both correct and incorrect responses.
