This PhysCast is going to deal with a problem that has a block being pulled up a ramp and how we can apply Newton's 2nd Law to analyse it. A 14.0 kg block is pulled up a frictionless ramp by a 70.0 N force parallel to the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 25 degrees to the horizontal. If the block is initially stationaly, how far does it move in the first 3.0 seconds?
