    Power & Kinetic Energy Needed to Pull Wagon at 25km/hr

    My U is .200 and I know that Ff=U * normal force. How do I find the normal force, then one I find the normal force what do I do to find the required power. I just need some steps and guidence. Thanks

    What is the acceleration of a block being pulled up a slope by a 140 N force?

    I have a free body which a 140 N force going along the + x-axis a N force (normal) going + along Y axis a vector "W" in the third quad with a polar angle of 235'. What do i do next. I know that i need to find the acceleration of the block. Where and how does the coeficient of friction come...

    Power & Kinetic Energy Needed to Pull Wagon at 25km/hr

    I knowI need Ff=UN but otherwise I do not understand how to put the acceleration problem together with the friction problem or where to even start.
