Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Forces on Incline Problem Medium

Students must find out different things for an object in a elevator simply based on the force-time graph that is produced as the object rides in the elevator.

Students must calculate the acceleration of an object down an incline when there is friction present. Mass, angle and coefficient of friction will be generated randomly.

Students must predict the distance a cart will move up an incline based on energy conservation.

Students must predict the distance a box will move up an incline based on energy conservation. There will be friction present and some of the original KE will turn into heat.

Students must calculate the number of rotations per hour required to create a certain force normal on a spinning space station.

Students must figure out the number of people that can go on a raft without having the raft go fully under the fluid.

Students must predict the final speed of the block on the incline after sliding down a certain distance. Students must account for the energy lost due to the friction between the block and the incline.

Students must determine the power that is being exerted by a motor to pull a person up a frictionless incline.

Students must determine the force required to hold a syringe in place when a second force is trying to get it to move.

Students must calculate the speed of a hockey puck based on the graph of force vs. time for the impact between the stick and the puck.
