Homework Statement A spring of constant 19 N/cm is compressed a distance 8 cm by a 0.4 kg mass and then released on a frictionless surface. After it leaves the spring it skids over a frictional surface of length 1.9 m with coefficient of friction 0.14. Then, again on a frictionless surface, it...

My force should look like this then? force applied - force friction - mgsinθ= Fnet Is that all that I'm missing? Thanks!

Homework Statement A crate is pulled by a force (parallel to the incline) up a rough incline. The crate has an initial speed shown in the figure below. The crate is pulled a distance of 9.33 m on the incline by a 150 N force. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the change in...
