What Happens When a Block Slides Down a SLIDING Ramp? Classic Physics Problem

A block sliding down a ramp is a classic setup for learning to apply Newton's laws to a system that's not too complicated, but also not totally trivial. But what if the ramp itself is free to slide over the ground that it's sitting on? Then we get a much tougher and more interesting problem to solve!

In this video, I'll walk you through it.
