Motion on an Incline. I did an experiment where I measured the acceleration of a cart rolling down an inclined plane using 5 different angles and comparing them to those predicted in Newton's 2nd law of motion.
I am trying to figure out the equation I can use to find...
Ok so here's what I'm trying to figure out:
Given a required time i need to figure out how much wheel thrust is required to accelerate a car or truck to a given speed. (ie take a 5000 lb car to 75 mph in 15 seconds...)
I've been searching but can't find a good formula to use.
please help

Homework Statement
Is it possible for a box going down on a frictionless incline plane to have not a negative accleration but positive accleration? Please help, it is confusing.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
If you push an object on an incline up at force of 20N and the accleration is negative would that mean the object will start to go down or does that mean it will deacclerate to a stop.

A light pulley can rotate freely about its axis of symmetry which is fixed in a horizontal position. A massless inextensible string passes over a pulley . At one end the string carries a mass 4m, while the other end supports a second massless pulley. A second string...
A location of a particle is given in m by x, y and z coordinates as function of time in s as:
x= -11+9t+11t^2
y= -23-21t
z= -93+25t+11t^2
What is the magnitude of the objects acceleration at t= 3.00s?
Would I add the second derivatives for magnitude?
Does it's initial velocity effect the acceleration a mass receives due to the gravitational field?
