Sketeh the situation and make a motion diagram (including acceleration vector) for the puck. b. Make a force diagram for the puck at at instant during it's way up the ramp. c. Write an equation representing the sum of forces along the slope and an equation representing the sum of forces perpendicular to the slope. d. Find the friction force between the puck and the ramp. Showv all work. e. Find the acceleration of the puck as it travels up the ramp. Show all work. f. Would the puck have greater, smaller or same acceleration if it had twice the mass (everything else about the situation being the same)?
