James pulls a 1.8 kg dynamics cart up a ramp that is inclined 25o to the horizontal. The cart is initially at rest but is then pulled up the ramp with a force sensor attached to James. The force sensor exerts a force on the cart parallel to the ramp. Negligible friction acts on the cart. What force is required for James to pull the cart up the ramp at an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2?

Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
A compressed spring of k = 60 N/m is released from rest on a frictionless surface. What is the change in spring potential energy from its compressed position x = 0.40 m to its equilibrium position, in Joules? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
During a physics inquiry, you place a 0.250kg dynamics cart on a ramp inclined at 25.0 degrees to the horizontal. The cart is initially at rest, before you pull it up the ramp with a force sensor. The force sensor exerts a force on the cart parallel to the ramp. The coefficient of friction is 0.300. Determine the force to pull the cart up the ramp at an acceleration of 1.50 m/s/s. Include a force diagram.
Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
