Ablock having mass m slides down an inclined plane. the force of friction between the block and the inclined plane is f, the block's weight is m g, and the normal force is n. (a) draw a free – body force diagram showing the forces acting on the block. (b) write down all relevant newton’s equations for a given situation.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.

While carrying a heavy box up the stairs,you set the box on a step and rest. then you pick up the box and carry it to the top of the stairs. describe these actions in terms of balanced and unbalanced forces acting on the box.
