1. Draw a Free Body Diagram (FBD). 2. Resolve forces into x and y components. 3. Apply Newton's Second Law ($\Sigma F = ma$) in each direction. 4. Solve for unknowns.

1. Find the velocity functions $v_x(t) = \frac{dx}{dt}$ and $v_y(t) = \frac{dy}{dt}$. 2. Find the acceleration functions $a_x(t) = \frac{dv_x}{dt}$ and $a_y(t) = \frac{dv_y}{dt}$. 3. Evaluate $a_x$ and $a_y$ at the specified time t. 4. Calculate the net acceleration $a = \sqrt{a_x^2 + a_y^2}$. 5. Find the net force using $F = ma$.

1: $F_g$ (Gravitational Force/Weight) acting downwards, 2: $F_n$ (Normal Force) acting upwards.

1: $F_{app}$ (Applied Force) at an angle, 2: $F_g$ (Gravitational Force/Weight) down, 3: $F_n$ (Normal Force) up, 4: $f_s$ (Static Friction) or $f_k$ (Kinetic Friction) opposite the direction of motion.

The object will accelerate (or decelerate) in the direction of the net force, as described by Newton's Second Law.

The object begins to move, and the friction transitions from static to kinetic.

It increases both the maximum static friction and the kinetic friction.
