As a van climbs a 35 ° slope at 60 m/s, its driver falls ill and takes his foot off the accelerator pedal. The van stops after 75 m. Since the ill driver cannot use the foot brake and hand brake, the truck starts to move downhill after a moment's stop. After the van slides 40 meters downhill, the driver begins to brake. Since the braking force is 0.5W (W = weight); a- What is the kinetic friction coefficient between the road and the van? b- Calculate the total time it takes until the van comes to the point where the driver got sick while going down the hill. 35°

m A block of mass m = 10.46 kg is at rest on a friction-less table. A student comes 0 = along and presses on the book with an unknown force F, at an angle 6= 23.9° as shown in the figure. If the acceleration is 8.11 m/s2, with how much force (in N) is the student pressing? %3D Your Answer:
A block 5.0 kg is on an inclined plane. If the friction coefficient (static and kinetic) between the block and the plane is μ = 0.5, and the angle θ = 35°, determine the maximum friction force that the plane could exert on the block. The block is not necessarily at rest. Use g = 10 N/kg.
