What happens to the pulse rate when activities demand more body movements?

When activities demand more body movements, the pulse rate typically increases. This is because the heart needs to pump more blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the increased number of muscles being used. This increase in pulse rate helps support the body's increased metabolic demands during physical activity.

How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increase the height of the ramp but not its lenght?

If you increase the height of the ramp but not its length, the force needed to push the wheelchair up the ramp will increase. This is because a higher ramp will require more work to overcome gravity and lift the chair to a greater height. As the height increases, the force required to push the wheelchair up the ramp will increase proportionally.
