PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THESE TWO QUESTIONS. 1) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.298, what is the force of friction that opposes Cory and Kathy’s pushing forces?

2) Cory is pushing to the right (up the ramp) with a force of 379 N, and Kathy is pushing to the right with a force of 357 N. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?
